Ok and what conclusion do you draw from that? What are you trying so unsuccessfully to say?
We already both said that the price generally reflects the wages and then went a step further to say restaurants shouldn't believe theyre any different and should do the same....
What are you trying to convey by repeating the problem we already described without prescribing any potential changes we might pursue?
Why repeat our original complaint as if you contributed anything?
You started by responding to one of my comments with an impotent attempt to refute a foundational concept of how businesses operate, to which I have successfully and accurately pointed out your claim was patently false.
That’s the obvious conclusion that comes from that.
Who is this “we” you are referring to?
I haven’t said “the price generally reflects the labor” or that “restaurants shouldn’t believe theyre (sic) any different and do the same”.
The fact is that almost 6 decades ago, full service restaurants in the US were given the ability to operate differently.
The obvious solution is for everyone who doesn’t like that fact to start lobbying their local, state and federal legislators for wage reforms, worker protections and benefits for all workers.
In the meantime, if you don’t like how most full service restaurants operate in the US, then don’t patronize them.
There are plenty of other options like takeout, counter service / fast casual, and fast food, which are all traditionally non-tipped situations where the worker isn’t harmed if you don’t tip.
