Shortly before opening, Casa Bonita’s new owners Matt Stone and Trey Parker decided to eliminate tipping and instead pay workers a flat wage of $30 per hour.
Now I could be wrong, but getting a an hourly wage as a restaurant worker is FAR better than relying on tips. I feel like either workers in this situation are too obsessed with tips or there’s huge context missing.
No it’s because it’s an extremely anti-labor scab movement of Americans and other westoids. These people don’t want to pool tips with back of house, they want to gut the wages for everyone and keep all the tips for the conventionally attractive (white, cis) front of house workers. Otherwise they wouldn’t be using arguments like “we don’t have to pay taxes on tips” because that’s only true if you don’t pool/split tips.
You wouldn’t support pay discrimination based on politeness and conventional attractiveness, but tips come into the suggestion and suddenly you do
You’re all over this thread calling the workers scabs when the article says they were asking for a pooled-tip structure. At least read the thing before hurling insults at people
You are right, I read several comments in the thread stating the back-of-house wasn’t being included and just assumed they were right. I’ve deleted the comments and have now read the article. Tipping is still an anti-labor practice that employers love.
