If they are willing to work for the hopes of getting 20% on a order, then how will a burger jump to $25 if the the employer had to pay the staff?

I understand that there will be other cost to the employer but it would not make the cost of a burger $25.

No, I'm not fine with a 25 dollar burger. Grasping at straws to prove a point? Its not going to happen.


If you are dumb enough to take a job paying 2 an hour. I'm mean enough to not give a shit if it doesn't cover your bills.

Its not a job paying $2 an hour, its a job that relies on tips. No server actually makes $2 an hour.

Anyone who values the experience of going out to eat and being waited on while eating good food should realize the tip system is the best way to accomplish that goal.

Maybe, just maybe, if your a waiter and cant make ends meet without tips, then you should get another job.

Waiters up here are paid minimum wage by law. They do get tips (eastern canadians tip well), but if you have to rely on it, find something else.

No way i'd work for 2 dollars and hour, thats just a bit better than slavery.

Funny thing is some of the wait staff in the high end restaurants make some damn good money waiting tables but thye know their stuff about the food and beverages. And do have to kiss some ass but thats the case for any server.
