67. "Other countries use the Metric System and we use Fractions." In response to In response to 55 Tue Feb-02-21 02:05 PM by allStah
It’s not something that is limited to the restaurant business. It’s the foundation of our economy and culture.
You can’t compare America to European countries on anything. Just look at the lopsided differences in healthcare....so the comparisons are not applicable.
So it’s not the way it is. It’s what makes sense. And again 15.00 an hour would be way less than what waiters are currently able to earn.
The point is to not limit the earning power of the waiter, which is what the wage increase would do. Also, restaurants would definitely have to double their prices to be able to afford the increase.
So that 14.00 -18.00 steak entree would increase to 28.00 - 36.00. Patrons would not accept that. There is a difference between recommended and required. Americans don’t like to be told what to do, which is why Socialism is frowned upon. Now you’re telling them they have to pay 36.00 for a steak, when they were paying 14.00 and tipping out 20 percent on it, and was paying all together no more than 20.00 - 24.00?
Patrons will resent that increase and the service. The law would hurt the patron and the waiter.
