And it made a lot of people very angry

Most (if not all), of the people who got angry at this are part of the 30% unshakeable far right. It should have no bearing whatsoever on wether Democrats should consider putting up a candidate by the name of Castro. It simply does not matter,

Almost all servers/bartenders at a decently busy establishment make a lot more than minimum wage, almost certainly more than they'd get paid without tipping. Ideally everyone would get paid properly but as it stands now, it's a pretty sweet deal that benefits everyone in the service industry (except kitchen staff, who are wildly underpaid).

At the very least restaurants shouldn't get an exemption from minimum wage laws and be allowed to pay the servers 2-3$ an hour. And like others have said, there's something seriously wrong with the business model if they would go under for paying the actual minimum wage so gently caress em if they do.

The transition to a no-tipping place is always weird, because at first you're like "whoa holy gently caress this food is expensive," but then you realize that VAT is included and you don't need to tip and it turns out, usually, to be completely normal.

That's a major impediment to moving to a no-tipping system. It's really hard to do it one at a time because your prices will look ridiculously bad, even if you'll end up paying the same amount.

Everyone should get paid better uniformly, and your pay shouldn't be based on how nice the people who eat at the restaurant that night are feeling. gently caress tipping culture, it's dumb bullshit.

Yes I do know that would mean that most people couldn't afford to go out to eat anymore. Too bad.

The only way that people wouldn't be able to eat out is if they somehow believe that they can't afford a 20% increase in price on the menu that they were going to pay anyway, or restaurant owners use it as an excuse to raise prices even higher and pocket the difference.

So what, gently caress 'em.

If any other industry than restaurants tried to make the "woe is us, we can't afford to pay our employees, we'd go out of business" shtick we'd tell them to gently caress off and be right in doing so. We're only justifying it here because it's a cultural norm we were conditioned to accept as normal and fair.

I'd say this depends on how much restaurant workers are going to get paid in the new system. I'm just saying, even if servers being properly paid resulted in a substantial price hike, too bad.

I mean... that's just whataboutism.

Just because Republicans can elect an inexperienced candidate to the highest office in the land doesn't mean we should too.

Yeah I phrased that poorly. I meant in terms of how electable the candidate is, the GOP pretty much made that a non-issue forever by nominating Trump. Not that that will stop them from crowing about how inexperienced Democrat X is, of course.

Personally I'd prefer Democratic candidates with some level of public service beyond mayor of a large city and HUD secretary. How about we get both Castros as TX Senators?

I bet Omarosa drags on Kelley and the more establishment types way more than Donald or the family, and I certainly doubt she knew anything of particular importance. That said, this could still be fun.

I agree with you, no-tipping systems where all restaurant staff are properly compensated are far superior, I'm just saying there needs to be a plan to get from here to there.

Even if you just made serving a standard minimum-wage position, which would be a good thing, it wouldn't eliminate tipping. It needs to be a shift undertaken by the whole industry at the same time, and I just don't see a way that can happen. I'm open to ideas, if you have any.

I don't think we specifically need to outlaw tipping, if we force restaurants to pay servers standard wages and standard wages go up eventually the practice will die out naturally.

Possibly? His district is heavily gerrymandered but he's also very unpopular with Republicans broadly last I checked. I don't know if that translates to unpopularity with Republicans in his district, but he does have credible challengers for next year.
