Did you read the article? The writer states that waiters made 22$/hour, cooks 12 to 14, and dishwashers got about 10 when he brought in the system, all of which

  -- 'So, the two servers make a total of about $26/hour each, while everyone else in the restaurant is stuck at $8/hour.' the waiters would have made 26 dollars an hour under a tipping scheme instead they make 22 dollars an hour under his scheme... thats really all he is doing here, taking tip money from the waiters and dividing it among the employees as he decides too... and thats fine EXCEPT why doesnt he just put the menu prices up by whatever % he needs to and then run his business how he sees fit? RIGHT because then he cant advertise those low prices (on his menu). Why is that legal? ohh yeah because america has a tipping culture for dining, and why is that? because wait staff is explicitly exempt from wage laws to a large extent i read the article, thought about it, looked at the numbers and applied critical thinking, and came to the conclusion that this scheme benefits management of the resturant more than anyone else
