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

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!
