Comment on higher wages for the servers... by the customers. Fnbs

The restaurant could increase their prices by 18%, but then people would decide to eat elsewhere. Of course they’ll do that anyway after being hit with all the charges, but the owner thinks it’s worth it to get the custom once.

Wild that somebody would decide $22.25 is reasonable for chicken wings. Maybe for 100 of them …

They seem to be massively overcharging, which makes the whole thing a lot wilder. At those prices they could afford to pay their staff well and abolish both tips and service charge…
Suspect the owner is just a knob.

It’s in LA, everything is expensive and well is very relative. Minimum wage is almost $17.
