[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Anyone work food service who does NOT want a $15 minimum wage to pass? My SO is a bartender and he does not want this to pass in VA. Right now, on a good night, which is usually Wed-Sun, he makes ~$45-50/hr. He makes $2.13/hr. Even on a bad night, like a Monday or Tuesday, which he doesn't have to work anymore since he's been there longer, he would walk way having made enough to average out ~$19/hr. There are some years where he'll make more than I do with a masters degree. He and most of his coworkers don't want a $15 minimum wage. They don't want less tips and they know that is what will happen with a higher wage. [/quote] My daughter is a server in a high end restaurant and a former bartender. She does not want the $15 min wage for herself because she also knows people will tip less. However, she acknowledges that servers in low end restaurants need it to survive. In her restaurant if a customer does not tip at least 15% management will make up the difference and there are no repercussions for asking for that to the servers. Management does not want the servers to treat low tipping customers any differently from other customers. The last few months she has made more than in her ten or so years of serving, averaging about $5000 a month just in tips and working 40 hrs or less a week. There are plenty of people who understand how tipping works and act accordingly. If you protest your bias against tipping by retaliating against your server you are just a simple minded douche bag. Own it.[/quote]
