Perhaps the closure of more restaurants will end tipping altogether?

I have always been 20 plus percent on the tips anyhow, so one way or another if all else remained the same it’s a great big “Meh!”

But Democrats in power are a special kind of stupid, and lack the situational awareness the usually comes as a part of the package when a human is created.  The minimum wage nonsense would of course .. eventually evolve into this:

Michigan’s tipped wage system is on the verge of total annihilation next month, and now, bars and restaurants are getting ready for the change by adding large fees onto the bills of customers—a “Whitmer Tax,” if you will.

The issues stems from a 2018 ballot measure drastically expanding the minimum wage that was supported by Whitmer and the Democrats, as well as a subsequent ruling from the Michigan Supreme Court, saying the legislature’s attempt to reform the measure while concurrently adopting it was unconstitutional.

The reality is now upon us, and we would be mistaken to think it affects only the wage earners.

The mom and pop restaurateurs who somehow survived Whitmer’s covid absudities will now be tested again.  As I may be one who drops a decent tip at my usual hangouts, I know there are others who may opt to forget about ‘date night’ altogether.  Perhaps those ‘wealthy’ business owners can move their insurmountable savings into more profitable ventures. (Insert eye-roll here)

But serving folks who have done reasonably well by providing excellent service will begin to run out of employment options.  Restaurant’s need patrons no matter what – a reality that the left takes for granted.
