[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ha ha, sure.  Ok.

I don’t stand to benefit from anyone or anything financially.  I’m early retired and live in downtown DC.  I get out quite a bit — not at high end places, btw, which isnt my thing — and I know many, many bartenders and servers.  Every single one of them, many of whom are people of color are adamantly opposed to this law.  I don’t know a single person in the industry who isn’t.

I also make a point of asking servers who I don’t know what they think.  The last one I asked (on an inexpensive Father’s Day brunch on Florida Avenue) was an African American woman.  She didn’t hesitate:  “I’m against it.”

I have enough respect for the affected people to support their view.  They’re not idiots who need to be “protected” by outside groups with their own agenda.

My brother works in a restaurant in DC and was told by management that employees on the clock needed to tell people that asked that they were against it. They had stickers printed that employees were required to wear. [/quote]

The servers I know who are against this are my actual friends -- not just restaurant workers.  They're not being forced by anybody to do or say anything.

That’s fine, but I was replying to the person saying they were asking servers working that they didn’t know. [/quote]
