A follow up to my last post! New York Was Wrong to Exclude Tipped Workers From Full $15 Minimum says Eater
Cuomo overlooked the state's 300,000 waiters, bidders, bartenders and other tipped workers. #foodnews #policynews

sugardetoxme 9yr Guaranteed Cuomo got pressured. If Bloomberg was in office, this would have happened already bc he didn't take answers from anyone

DietID_TeamDietitians 9yr Definitely. Will bring this up on Friday. @reclaimthetable @patriciaduffy- any other questions on tipping?

annefood 9yr You'll have to fill me in since I won't be there on Friday! -
PatriciaDuffy 9yr This issue is complicated and culture bending. If tipped employees' salaries are raised, restaurant owners do need to raise prices or perhaps fold; the economic model has changed. Previous pricing assumed a work force whose income was supported by tips; if that goes away, a European service-included system is needed . Perhaps least attractive to servers in high end restaurants whose tips exceed a minimum wage hike? Apologies for being a bs nerd but I ache for the restaurant owners on this topic! -
DietID_TeamDietitians 9yr thanks for your thoughts @PatriciaDuffy! I've heard this quite a bit from smaller restaurants who are barely making margins. It's definitely a conundrum to say the least.

Gwendolyn 9yr Danny Meyers' "hospitality included" policy which allows for higher prices would help. Though then you wouldn't have tipped workers to begin with!

RahulRaRa I came upon the Chinese dietary guidelines when they were first released, and was so surprised to see this. I guess a strong government like China's has some benefits =)

mirasingh Sheesh - all these countries have opted to recommend reduced red meat consumption but we haven't? How is this possible?

Gwendolyn Right @mirasingh ?!

Kombucha fans out there? I think I have a realistic view of the stuff, and love its taste and probiotics. Don't think it's a magic cure, but I do drink a lot of it!
