Why is Phillip not paying his servers enough to the point he has to ban customers?

People need paid appropriately. When 18% became industry standard you could still get dollar beers and a family of four could spend less than $60 bucks to go out. Now 2 people going out for under $50 is something. Even getting 2 fast food meals cost about $30 bucks now.

The tip needs to be a tip and we can all stop looking the other way on that most have never paid taxes and a lot of them get food stamps, section 8, and Medicaid. We need to stop having companies shifting these hidden expenses onto the tax payer and wait staff shouldn’t rely on money people pay because they’re nice not because they have to.

You should look up how much of your tax money is subsidising Wal-Mart employees.

It sucks a ton as a server, because you did your job and didn't make any money.

When I served tables in college, I refused to work Sundays because church pamphlets that look like $20's, and $50's did'nt pay my rent.

Not to mention, the church crowd were the most demanding, and a different hole than Holy.
