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.

The complaints could be a result of $30 at or below full time employment. We could be looking at a Walmart Style situation where they are paying employees but keeping them at 32 hours or less to also avoid benefits.

I would want to know what are the employees actually saying.

Alternatively this could be a hit job, cause restaurants around the area - or business groups in general, want to avoid eliminating tipping for improved pay.
