Shortly before opening, Casa Bonita’s new owners Matt Stone and Trey Parker decided to eliminate tipping and instead pay workers a flat wage of $30 per hour.
Now I could be wrong, but getting a an hourly wage as a restaurant worker is FAR better than relying on tips. I feel like either workers in this situation are too obsessed with tips or there’s huge context missing.
Yeah, nah. This is required almost nowhere but the 9th circuit court states (west coast to Montana, plus Alaska and Hawaii) because of a circuit court case, and the states affected also got rid of tip credit, so that FOH and BOH are paid the same base wage as well.
Some restaurants have pooling, but it's often very low and often ignored.
Wtf are waiters just restaurant Kulaks?
Yes
"Kulaks are people who make my treats more expensive so they can afford to live above subsistence levels"
Work a kitchen, it’s because I’m bitter about the way I was treated not because I am upset about tipping making things more expensive. I straight up don’t eat out so it’s a non-issue from that end.
At the expense of the other workers who don't get a living wage or tips
