> You'll be paying those personnel costs either way. Obviously, but be honest about it. Don't tell me I can get a stake for $9 when I still have to pay taxes plus ~20% on top of the total to pay your employees. I also hate this busy-body idea that the customers want a say in how much the server is paid to encourage "extra value beyond their purely mechanical function". That leads to annoying servers pestering me every five minutes looking to "add value". I want my servers to be as near to transparent as can possibly be. I didn't come there to talk to them, I came to have a good meal and enjoy the social company who came with me.
