Restaurants are adding labor surcharges to help offset minimum wage increases

[Mr Natural]

Refuse to pay the surcharge. I did.

Leave the tip in cash but use a credit card to pay the bill and on the Total line, deduct the surcharge.

Let the smartass owner spend $.35 of his time reconciling his books.

Democrats pay taxes......Trump doesnt

Then instead of Democrats representing the average worker, they represent the ultra rich.

 

[Markle]

At least he isn't a slimy salesman, now that would make any parent cringe, how dishonest of a profession can you get, right up there with ambulance chaser.

NOTHING happens until something is SOLD!

The owner will probably make the server pay the surcharge. I ask for the manager and had it removed from the check.

To say nothing of the fact the over half the workforce makes $20/hr or less. All of them are going to demand raises too when they go from comfortably twice the MW to just a dollar or two above it.

And the last thing America needs is a well paid workforce.

The last thing America needs are employers leaving the country because of labor costs or investing in even more automation.

Zero employers will leave the country because of a minimum wage increase

Works for me, if he wants an extra 3%-4% then tack it on to the price and drop the surcharge.

It produces a healthy middle class and working class that can supply the demand for a healthy economy DUHHHHHHHHH....

Are you intentionally being dense or is it accidental?

How does it produce a healthy middle class? If it did, why hasn't it happened all the other times the minimum wage was raised?

Every person I know is paid EXACTLY what their production is worth.

Companies make a profit off of every employee

It has, dupe. See 1960's when it was the equivalent of $11 today. Thanks GOP!

The GOP has ALWAYS had stupid strawdogs and blame their victims...

According to you. How do they feel about their pay?

 

[Markle]

Like i said, just more bizarre greedy white Republican exaggerating. The sky won't fall if we pay our struggling fellow Americans a few more bucks. Your fear mongering doesn't fly with me.

 

[Markle]

Why is that my concern? Isn't that THEIR concern?

Right Markel, blaming the UE for not working at the height of the corrupt GOP Great Depression is hilarious...silly dupe.

Your only concern is being a silly dupe. Also, can you morons quote the whole quote so we know what your dimwit comments are about?

 

[Markle]

I mean if they're all 'Evil Lazy Welfare' folks, than it's perfectly ok to abuse them, right? Y'all are consumed with greed.

ANOTHER moron conservative academic. It's damn hard to study a subject and STILL be a stupid jackass. Not YOUR problem, spam dupe.

 

[Markle]

The customer wants a bottom line price, they don't need to know that you have to surcharge because of employees.

No, YOU don't want the customer to know that the business has to add "X" dollars to their bill because of a radical increase in the minimum wage.

 

[Markle]

If so few are receiving Minimum Wage, you shouldn't be concerned about it being raised. Y'all greedy white Republican folks just need to escape your greedy fantasy bubble.

Your insistence on ignoring facts and the truth is almost inexplicable. Except for the fact that you are a Progressive and pretend to be so ignorant. That explains it all.
