Kempczinski also noted that in many states, sit-down restaurants are allowed to pay servers as little as $2.13 per hour, a federal minimum set in 1991, with tips making up the rest of their pay.
“So right now, there’s an uneven playing field. If you are a restaurant that allows tips or has tips as part of your equation, you’re essentially getting the customer to pay for your labor and you’re getting an extra benefit from no taxes on tips,” Kempczinski said.
First of all, fuck tipping and “tipping culture”.
But, this asshat just wants to make restaurant service more expensive to justify the exorbitant prices they’ve been charging for shitty fast food.
He hears the complaints about McD’s prices and so he wants the decent restaurant’s prices to be higher to make his look cheap.
Broken clock.
