You're looking at a magazine called restaurant business online. They have another article about a bunch of people calling the protest of the Israeli PR person's restaurant "anti-semitic".

Yes, the workers are wrong. This is a better way to do it. Unfortunately, many waiters really do come out ahead with tipping, especially those working at higher end restaurants, conventionally attractive by euro standards, or just really good people skills, so they argue tipping is good actually. It benefits some individually, but collectively a lot do not end up with more money this way. It’s part of the whole pull yourself up by your bootstraps ideology - yes you theoretically could do better with tipping, but how many do, compared with the many who don’t? But of course restaurantbusinessonline would prefer business owners still be paying less than minimum wage, so they find those workers whose interests for whatever reason line up with theirs.

yall are underestimating how much some waiters make. especially if you are conventionally attractive.

some tipped workers come out ahead in effective wage, but it's fleeting and a bad way to organize society

i wouldn't put it past the park brothers to be screwing them over in some other way and the "return to tipping" is just sensationalized from the old benefits being better and "we want the previous deal" being easier to argue for as labor.

Dear FOH if you want me to support tips, tip out BOH.

Holy F $30/hr is a very nice wage. That's livable with a side of moderate savings there. Take the damn win.

Fucking 30$ an hour!? That’s amazing! That’s more than teachers make where I live…

Like, more than 30% more wow

Still not enough, but dang tbh

Extremely sus that this article doesn't report on the number of signatures on the petition.
