Restaurants are adding labor surcharges to help offset minimum wage increases

[Ray From Cleveland]

Let me tell you something, in a free country, you are only treated the way you want to be treated. If you don't want to do squat to improve your plight, you will be treated accordingly. If you show some effort and responsibility, you will be treated accordingly. If you bust your ass on your job, you will be treated accordingly. If you sit back expecting government to give you things.........again.....you will be treated accordingly.

Sorry, but that's just more greedy white Republican 'Archie Bunker' Bullshite. If we refuse to look out for our less fortunate and powerless, we've become an 'Evil Country.'

We take care of our "powerless" pretty damn good. In most cases, our less fortunate are less fortunate because they made the choice to be that way.

That's some pretty hateful warped thinking. Like i said, y'all are the reason i don't call myself a Republican anymore.

How is that warped thinking? Poverty is a choice--not an affliction in most cases. If you live in poverty, it's because you don't have money. If you need money, there is only one way to get it--work.

But if you make bad choices in life like not seeking a profession, not securing a good paying job with a company, not gaining an education, starting a family you can't support and will forever keep you poor, that's not because of bad luck--it's because of bad choices.

Being a Republican promotes people making wise choices in life, so it's no surprise you are not a Republican. Being a Republican promotes personal responsibility, so again, it's not a surprise you are not a Republican.

Quite mad lol. After 30 years of Voodoo: worst min. wage, work conditions, illegal work safeguards, vacations, work week, college costs, rich/poor gap, upward social mobility, % homeless and in prison EVAH, and in the modern world!! And you complain about the victims? Are you an idiot or an A-hole?

And you are a leftist troll.

I actually think most Americans will pay the 'surcharge', knowing American Workers are being treated well. Most Americans are kind-hearted.

Hey let's be real, America is by far the richest nation on earth. But it does seem like it has no interest in taking care of its elderly or least fortunate. So what does that say about the nation? I guess i'll have to let folks contemplate that for themselves.

Here is something for you to contemplate: If you are elderly or less fortunate, what other country than the US would you rather be living in?

Any other top rank socialist country (ignoring patriotic sentiment) - FRANCE (#1 Quality of Life AND Place to retire), original EU, Canada, OZ, NZ.

Well then there is the solution to your problem: MOVE!

As I said, stupid, sentiment ignored. As it is, we'll keep trying to fix your greedy idiot GOP mess you morons have produced here, dupe. And guess what, it's basically impossible to retire in those places unless you're VERY rich...

If you knew the facts, you would be too, Mr. Magoo lol. You just ignored those. All fact. Give us some more GOP unicorn talk.

I am sorry Moon Bat but it is not my responsibility to take care of anybody other than my family.

Out of a sense of charity I may chose to help somebody out but I sure as hell don't need the fucking filthy ass corrupt oppressive government taking my hard earned money by force and giving it to somebody that didn't earn it.

What living in this out of control debt ridden oppressive welfare state says is that this is a nation of greedy asshole welfare queens that hire politicians to steal on their behalf. You can be as generous as you want with your own money but it is morally despicable to use the filthy government to take money away from me to pay your bills.

I'll pay the 'surcharge.' However, i do think it's pretty dirty. But i'll pay if it means fellow Americans are being paid a living wage. I can live with it.

Everywhere will go up, including Walmart. Good for regular people and everyone in the end, superdupe. What we have now is a pander to the rich mess, falling apart at the seams after 30 year of Reaganism.

A nation that refuses to look out for its elderly and least fortunate, isn't worth squat. For such a rich nation, we're doing a miserable job of looking out for our own. We can certainly do much better.

You got nothing but brainwashed blaming of a suddenly lazy populace. Silly.

 

[Dschrute3]

Pay the 'surcharge', but bitch the business out. It is shameful. But i'll pay it and keep fellow Americans employed at a livable wage. I feel that's the right thing to do in the end. But hopefully, those businesses will be shamed into doing the right thing eventually. Consumers do have a lot of power. They can force change.

[francoHFW]

We should be looking out for our fellow Americans. Pay em a living wage. It'll get em off the Government Entitlements, and they'll feel they're worth something.

The average Republican approach on wages borders on 'Evil.' Yet most of them consider themselves 'Good Christians.' Our Minimum Wage is truly embarrassing. The rest of the world can't believe such a wealthy nation would treat its People so poorly.

The rest of the world can't believe we treat it's people this way? Then why is the rest of the world trying to get into this country?

I'll tell you why: It's because this country offers the best opportunity for advancement if you're willing to work for it. It's because this country creates a new millionaire every day. It's because if you make the right decisions in life, you will be rewarded financially and personally.

However, if you're going to sit back, not try very hard, not engage in investments or education; expecting the government to force employers to pay you more money than you are worth, then there is no hope for you. You're a loser and will always be a loser.

In the meantime, those foreigners who came here with two dollars in their pocket, barely knowing the language, work night and day to obtain an education, to save enough money to open up their own business, to invest in themselves instead of an I-phone or newest video game.

I'm no longer a Republican because of that warped mentality. We should always look out for our American Workers. Our Minimum Wage is truly embarrassing. We're the wealthiest nation on earth for God's sake.

How we treat our less fortunate and powerless, says everything about what kind of country we are. And right now, we should be ashamed of how we treat our fellow Americans.

Let me tell you something, in a free country, you are only treated the way you want to be treated. If you don't want to do squat to improve your plight, you will be treated accordingly. If you show some effort and responsibility, you will be treated accordingly. If you bust your ass on your job, you will be treated accordingly.

We take care of our "powerless" pretty damn good. In most cases, our less fortunate are less fortunate because they made the choice to be that way.

After the GOP has made success harder and harder and more expensive for 35 years, dupe. And lets infrastructure go to hell. All to save the bloated rich.

These places are not half as decent as the worst place in this country so what is your dumbass point. Why the hell would anyone retire to France? The quality of life for what? living in an apartment that smells like mold, having to deal with dirty water, bad utilities, extreme energy costs, narrow streets rude people, marginal healthcare, diseases that have been gone from this country for decades, sewer water in every river, ON AND ON >>>>> you need to try to tell someone who doesn't know anything about the REAL world those damn lies bullshit pump.
