You have no idea what I'm talking about? It's said right there *ergo, same logic". There are two kinds of people in this world, those that can extrapolate with partial knowledge and those that.
You know exactly what I'm saying, you just don't care to define what's appropriate and where the line should be drawn. I think the whole thing is a giant nothingburger from a group of Karen's who think their opinion should decide peoples livelihoods, for some reason. Where's that end? America should return to its original motto on our currency, not today's In God We Trust, but the one Ben Franklin minted that said Mind Your Business.
Why should customers be relied upon to subsidize the restaurant owner? I'm in the PNW, all our restaurants/bars/etc pay min wage (or more) plus tips and they're doing just fine.
I used to work for tips and I averaged between $35-50/hr. If everyone decided to drop my income by 2/3rds, because that'd be fair to...whom exactly? The owner? Cuz if they have to pay workers the same as everyone else then servers should be happy with a pay cut to $15?
GTFO.
Most of the country already has a servers wage of 2.13/hr, and how that's not criminal is beyond my comprehension. Talk about government putting their fingers on the scale for an industry. That is essentially codifying a caste system. Well, so is all wage work in the corporatocracy. That's why we call it wage slavery.
You argue for cutting some people's wages by 1/2-2/3rds then don't be surprised if that's met with violence. Which I would call justified, honestly. Violence, at times, is a perfectly good solution. Maybe not the most highbrow, but it can be quite effective. Why do you think the state has a monopoly on it?
And i don't even want to see the strippers up there for $15/hr. What a sad world.
I don't know what's going on. It seems you're arguing against things I never said.
Perhapse you're extrapolating too much, and arguing against a strawman. I'm a very literal person, who only means exactly what I say. When people make assumptions about what each other are "really" saying, they frequently talk pass each other, and don't actually communicate.
