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.

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

Yep which is a good thing. People pretend to hate tipping because of some foo pro-worker stance but it's really because middle income people can't stand the idea of unskilled labor making more than them and having to pay extra for their treats

i half agree. black waiters make significantly less regardless of quality of service so theres clearly some downsides of tipping culture. pooling tips is a kinda solution. having a high hourly wage on top of tipping is ideal.

[-] janny@hexbear.net 22 points 11 months ago

Agreed, pooling tips should be legally required accross the board

Or, you know, just pay people properly in the first place. If you're going to reach for legislation why target tips?
