cnn.com/2022/07/30/business/us-bank-cfbp-fine/index.html US Bank made identity theft into a business line. 37 million probably doesn't even cover the profit this brought in let alone the revenue.

That was after credit for paying a $311mil fine to california, so I guess that means the full penalty is really more like $600mil?

https://www.fastcompany.com/90772391/penguin-random-house-ss-merger-antitrust-doj There's a big showdown a-brewin' between the publishing industry and the Federal Justice Department. My prediction: capital will win. All articles about this are fun because they use the word "monopsony" which doesn't come up a lot Though it definitely will more in the future

 Is this some crab in a bucket situation? The servers want tips back, because it gives them more control over how they get distributed to the rest of the staff? Maybe one server who made bank sucking up to rich people made a huge stink to the paper about it since they would get slightly less in exchange for most of them getting significantly more? What the gently caress is going on here? https://twitter.com/beckhopkinswine/status/1552628423381487616?t=t2_2cD4MvbAxA81_wRgPWg&s=19

People get used to navigating the systems that they're in, and because there's so little wiggle room for most people, any disruption of that very tight navigation can seem catastrophic even if it's a good thing in the long term.

They're threatening to unionize to raise their pay it sounds like. But I can't read the whole thing bc of stupid Fuggin paywalls. Kitchen staff got a huge raise bc of this and it sounds like they just interviewed a bitter server who doesn't like this. For reference the waitstaff now makes $32/hr which seems astounding for being a waiter

Which is more than I make at my computer touching job, but also probably below the poverty line for S.F.

Keep in mind it's San Francisco, so it's good money if you live out in Tracy or something. Note the people that benefitted the most were the busboys/dishwashers, some of the most labor intensive and low paying jobs in the restaurant I bet. They probably don't benefit from tipping as much as servers do, because it's the worst of both worlds for them-they're at the mercy of the customers AND the servers. It doesn't matter how good of a job they do because the server gets to take the credit. That's why I think it's a crab in a bucket problem. Relying on tips is rough but the servers have some power over the people that support them. In theory everyone has a mutual incentive to work together and do a good job but we don't live in a just world and tipping is not about meritocracy - even well intentioned people are going to biased. One server complained he didn't make as much during pride month, but what about the other 11 months of the year? If anything, paying everyone a flat premium means no infighting over the "lucrative" shifts; your income will be more consistent through the year.

One of the libertarian arguments I see thrown around in response to these articles is that no tipping will alienate the skilled workers who will go elsewhere and the only people motivated by it are going to be the really mediocre employees, which will cause the quality of the restaurant to go down which hurts profits and eventually they can't afford to pay their workers anymore. Like with socialism or something.

quote:3) The Linkery’s most transgressive act was not in implementing a service charge. Our most transgressive act was refusing to allow our guests to pay our servers anything more beyond the service charge — this is where the angry came out. A certain small number of very vocal men (and it was always men who were vocal about it) resented that we were not letting them try to exercise additional control over our team members. This was true even though compelling research has shown that servers do not adjust quality of service as a result of tips; instead the idea that the restaurant was not offering our servers up as objects of control, was heresy. For these people, the primary service they wanted from the restaurant was the opportunity to pay for favors from the server — much like the patron at a strip club pays the club for the opportunity to dangle bills in front a dancer for individual attention. The idea that a restaurant could legitimately want to be in a different business than a strip club, was not an idea these guests could countenance. Thus, I was ever subject to witty takedowns like you are a douche, along with other well-thought-out gems. there's some percentage of white dudes who would straight up buy a slave the day it became legal
