See the report at businessforafairminimumwage
it is a dotorg, not com
Many studies refute what you claim about job loss.October 11, 2018 8:47 am at 8:47 am #16035851ParticipantA $15 floor is way to high. There are people with professional skills making salaries at an hourly rate that are just above $15/hr especially if they are exempt and not getting overtime. What made you decide that $15 should be the floor, other than it’s the new democrat idea being floated around?

Do you think any experienced adult should work for $4 per hour from the employer and have to live on the generousity of customers?It depends on the value he is providing to his employer. If he is an experienced, capable worker with marketable skills, employers will compete for his services, and he’ll get paid a lot more than that.
You made two points there – one about pay amount per hour, and one about putting the burden on the customer. I don’t necessarily disagree about the latter.

So it’s a hefker velt? Just do what you want?

1) restaurants will the tip amount to the bill and base it the price including the tax. Which it shouldn’t.
2) The tip will be added to the bill and then they will add a line asking for a tip and will end up doubling the tip.
The 6.83 that CT talks about is a little ridiculous. A waiter in a nice restaurant serving several tables can ultimately make more than $75 an hour and quite possibly a lot more.
I just saw a Baal Simcha give out $200 tips to each waiter. And this was at a Simcha where the waiters are paid 15-18 an hour.
October 11, 2018 12:32 pm at 12:32 pm #1603708☕ DaasYochid ☕ParticipantBad example, but in concept, yes.
It’s a bad example because we know full well that football is muttar (unless you want to kler maybe tackle football is a sakana…) and that recognized poskim have allowed and encouraged participation in sports (at least in chutz la’aretz…).
However, a psak that tipping is mandatory when it is the norm is fully consistent with regular dinei Choshen Mishpat cannot be ignored unless you have a psak otherwise.
