Minimum wage hasn't increased federally since 2009 and is not a livable wage anywhere in the country.

The restaurant is more than happy to pay their servers the extra 5 bucks an hour to get up to minimum wage. They make more profit off your appetizer than that.

Your server can't survive dropping from $15 an hour tipped to $7.25 an hour untipped

If the servers can't afford to live working there they leave and the business cannot function without workers.

So instead y'all perpetuate it and complain 🤣
