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.
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.
