Comment on Restaurant group in Massachusetts is trying to reject a public vote on paying tipped workers
Plastic_Ramses@lemmy.world 2 months agoDo you have a source on that statement?
I do not own a restaurant but am a worker, bartender specifically.
Every restaurant that i know of or have worked in that switches to a non-tipped wage leads to suppressed/lower wages, and that’s from someone who has intimate access to the books.
Pay is definitely more consistent but not as high on average by design.

Well you can do a shitty version of anything. There are gains to be had switching to a non-tipped pay structure, but its up to the owner to distribute it fairly. Sounds like in your examples the owner collected the extra money themselves.

Its nuts to me how many people in this thread support and trust the ownership class.
