- Restaurant owners say the ballot issue, if passed in November, will hurt an industry that's still struggling to recover fully from the COVID-19 pandemic.
I’m voting against this if it’s on the ballot this fall. If you want more an hour then obtain more skills. I know tipped servers and bartenders. They make much more than $15. The col in Ohio
Is very reasonable. Artificially increasing the wage isn’t needed.
You won't have to worry about tips, if potential customers can't afford to eat at your establishment.
The increased cost of living was manufactured for a reason, and the reason is not good for the US, nor the world.
Servant mentality.
Are wr saying the service industry cannot figuer out a tiered salary system to rewaed workers? If the worker deserve 27, they pay 27.
All other industries have solutions for that.
Restaurant industry propaganda.
❤absolutely. They don’t even say what the initiative is called; let alone have someone from the other side give a balanced view. Another goofy free editorial for the Ohio Restaurant Association.
Bar tenders and servers make a ton of cash from tips, waaaaay more that a measley 15 or even 25 an hour. There are a bunch that make over 40 an hour.
Could they not still receive a tip if it cost the company more than $3 or $4 to to have them there. And do you honestly believe that all servers and bartenders actually make this much?
@@Waktrax2 moving tipped employees up to 15 wouldnt be 3 or 4 dollars. currently they barely make 5. it would be a 10dollar raise per head, which is gonna bump menu prices way up. as a server i made nearly 50bucks an hour esp on weekends. you can get on average 10-15 per table and flip 5 tables an hour easy.... this would hurt them. they serve and put up with the public for a reason.
@@barbarashaffer8486 let me get this right, because you used to be a server and make $50 more dollars than the whole less than $5 your employer pays you, you can’t make that if they had to pay you a whole $15, because a hypothetical price hike would prevent people from tipping you? What’s to say you would born not only get more than $10 more, but even MORE tips under this logic, because the tip is based on the bill price?
what does paying them more have to do with their tips tho? are the restaurants saying they're going to take their tips if they pay them more?
@@Waktrax2 the tips would disapprear. no one is going to pay 60 bucks for a steak and also tip with a family of 4. because if they paid 18 more heads a night, ( thats how many servers they usually have on a busy night in the avg rest,) the menu prices would jump by more than half. theres no way the business pays that for that money heads and doesnt charge customers more on the bottom line. thats why the big mac in LA is 18 dollars now. the managers and CEOS are not about to take from THEIR bottom line, no ones there to tell them or make them. they are just gonna charge everyone else more to pay that overhead salary.

Raising that wage still ISN’T a livable wage when the average rent is 2 grand a month!
Minimum wage jobs are intended for teens and pin money.
@@LadieKadie Overused excuse to not improve the situation. Trade school and college costs money, it’s costs more and more to get engineers and doctors trained. Even if education was free, you’d have a boom in hiring pool and you’d have companies that need to expand to accommodate that boom. You could have 10000 people graduate in a town with good qualifications, but doesn’t stop the fact they will have to compete and probably wait years to get that spot. Until then, they may have to settle for a not so stellar job to pay for their debt they most likely have, on top of record high living costs. Considering inflation isn’t going to stop getting worse , most of the country is living check to check and 650,000+ are homeless, paying people more wouldn’t hurt. If you got money to waste on buying yachts and acquiring social media platforms, you can afford to pay your employees better and invest in better improvements to the company. I dread to see what hoops our unborn grandkids will have to jump through to have a comfortable life, all because past generations of government set us up for failure.
where are you spending 2 grand a month on rent? Are you renting a 4 bedroom house? I live in a low crime area, 2 br townhouse with basement and garage and only pay 1 grand a month. You're getting ripped off dude.
Lol except they never used to be minimum wage jobs!
20's through the the late 1960's grown men had these jobs including burger flipper and owned houses and cars plus raised a family on these (now) minimum wage jobs! You should research rather than stooge out!
Since the very late 60's into the 70s the corporate bastards convinced you idiots that these jobs are for teenie boppers and or a supplemental job for the better half.
So all you're doing is parroting what the creepy corpos spoon-fed you or you parents!
Shit even the Newark ghetto is demanding over $1100 a month and is heading to $1400.
Stop living in denial and fantasy land.
What is this legislation called?Workers may still receive a tip if it cost the employer more two or three dollars to have them there. Where is the evidence? And why don’t you have someone on to illustrate both sides?!

@@mervunit I’ll be sure to stop eating at their restaurants. Thanks for points this out!
@@Waktrax2 that's like half the restaurants in the city lol
@@mervunit and they can all go out of business for all I care. These people are disgusting. I don’t want to support them. Shame on 10TV for airing this.
As a bartender server, this is terrible legislation. Most servers bartenders make 5.25 an hour from their company. Raising it to 15 an hour would kill small restaurants. Prices on average would have to raise by over 22 percent for restaurants to cover the new wages. The current tipping model is fine how it is. It allows server to make good money and businesses to stay open. If this passes servers will make less money and customers will see higher prices, that’s a lose lose situation for both.
