All Star Tuesday Morning

[PnkPanther]

I paid almost $40 bucks for two orders of chicken tenders, fries, and beverages. They got a more than fair wage

we eat early, it used to drive me nuts, but I've adapted.

Mrs Pnk starts her day early at gym, so her meal schedule is in line with senior citizens

now that we WFH, not as huge of deal, but would be frustrating at times when I was grilling to immediatly get home from work, have to get grill going, dinner prepared, etc

Sounds like she's just a motivated person...

you gonna tip?

They're now a non tip restaurant. They add service fee used to pay employees higher wages. Few other places have gone this route. Doesn't bother me one bit

One of my complaints is it does annoy me if I feel server went above and beyond and there system won't let me tip

Since I do all the cooking and don't get home with the kids until about 5:30, we generally don't eat until 7pm.

That's not what their website says. Unless you mean you won't even get the option to tip more than 20%? LOfuckingL to that shit.

Restaurant automatically adds a Service Charge of 20% to all orders. Pursuant to Minnesota Statute Section 177.23, subdivision 9, this Service Charge is not a tip or gratuity for employee service. However, this Service Charge does go towards supporting equitable wages for all our employees, hospitality included.

They have to say that per the statute, otherwise they can't spread it around to all of the employees.

So, like Pnk said, they don't let you tip there? Sounds like a bummer for the employees.

Correct, you can't tip

if you have cash, I suppose you could leave some.

The Twin Cities’ Favorite Fried Chicken Restaurant Is Now Open in St. Louis Park

Revival opens in the Texa-Tonka complex

Other restaurants are going this direction, and so long as the fee charged actually does support higher wages, I support it.

I've said before I'd rather just pay 20% and not tip knowing 20% more went to employee's

lol. That's so bad.

I mean, as I posted in another thread about Revival and your other fine establishments with those fees, it's so dumb as fuck.

I guess if most people tip like trash, it will help some employees. But if I was a server and the busboy was making the same money I am and I'm not getting tipped....lofuckingl.

I'm sincerely curious how this is going.

well, there is a labor shortage and still able to hire employees by attracting them with a higher hourly wage

Brasa is another restaurant gone this route.

The 20% goes to the employees....it gets spread around to all of the employees and not just your specific wait staff. What the fuck are you not understanding here?

So is Spoon and Stable.

When did I say I wasn't understanding anything?

You're de-incentivizing good service now and demotivating servers.

Way to go Minnesota I guess.

I wonder if the servers who were getting 30%+ are stoked to lose out on that.

is this essentially an "expensive poops" vortex?

Do you think a busboy or line cook works less hard than a wait staff?

And you already said it's dumb as fuck, but that you are also "sincerely curious" about how it is going. That's not curious....you are just looking for confirmation bias.

I went to Ireland and almost nowhere accepts tips there. It's a different concept, but I still got food and drinks there.
