Michigan Governor Accused of 'Wage Theft' for Signing Tipped Minimum Wage Legislation
"Once again, Democrats have thrown working people under the bus, this time in Michigan," said one critic.
We should just make tipping illegal and pay people a living wage and charge what things cost. This also has the secondary effect of tipping or giving gratuity to elected and appointed officials illegal to. It used to be called a bribe but if you do it shirt the favor it’s a legal gratuity. If it weren’t for most of the people here I’d really hate it here.
Yeah… they tried something similar here in MA, and every single service person I talked to about it, at every level, from dishwasher to chef to server to maitre’d to manager to owner was opposed to it. It was a tortuously and deceptively constructed piece of legislature that “guaranteed” a thing that was already actually guaranteed. It did nothing helpful, and it just increased bureaucracy and put another layer in the wages equation unnecessarily. We voted it down, thankfully.
