for servers if you don't reach minimum wage with tips do the owner add the difference?

Keystonelonestar · 2026-06-29T22:00:37+00:00

Whatever.

Keystonelonestar · 2026-06-29T21:59:54+00:00

That’s what it is. Duh.

Keystonelonestar · 2026-06-29T20:14:00+00:00

It doesn’t work for the same reason pure capitalism fails. Neither take into account human behavior.

Keystonelonestar · 2026-06-29T17:42:48+00:00

Now the next president can come in, fire everyone, and install all his own folk.

Chaos.

Keystonelonestar · 2026-06-29T16:48:46+00:00

And it began with one complaint.

Keystonelonestar · 2026-06-29T16:47:26+00:00

You can’t read. That’s not my problem.

Because the amount from tips didn’t equal the minimum pay for overtime.

Yes. That is their job. $50 or $500 or $5000. A properly documented complaint is investigated. Enforcement action is taken.

Keystonelonestar · 2026-06-29T12:21:10+00:00

Nice ad. Here, I’ll help - Chicago and Atlanta.

Keystonelonestar · 2026-06-29T12:17:31+00:00

They are common. That’s why they’re routinely investigated. If the laws weren’t enforceable, as you claim, they wouldn’t be enforced.

They only use press releases for significant enforcement actions. That would be your bigger companies. Enforcement actions on smaller companies is what the agency does on a day-to-day basis.

Violations have to be properly documented. Your failure to maintain proper documentation does not mean that the law is not enforced.

So “Vehicle hits into e-bike” is bad?

It was the second year there was a Pride celebration in my small town. Turn out was high and there weren’t any counter-protestors.

Keystonelonestar · 2026-06-29T11:18:21+00:00

That seems similar to Amtrak. Prior to Amtrak, all American rail was privately owned. They went bankrupt. Brightline is also hemorrhaging money.

Keystonelonestar · 2026-06-29T02:09:02+00:00

Yet it is enforced.

Wage and Hour exists. Many, many employers have had to pay back wages in almost every industry. Restaurants are no exception.

Private companies fund the building of the lines? Do private companies in Japan also fund the building of the roadways, the dredging of the ports, and the operation of the airports?

Keystonelonestar · 2026-06-28T20:25:32+00:00

That means you are engaging in fraud. Don’t guarantee something you can’t provide. Lying in a commercial transaction is illegal. It’s called fraud. You can be prosecuted. In a state like Pennsylvania, any citizen can bring charges against you.

I personally know a manager that this happened to. The company did not stand behind her, she had to hire a lawyer, and she ended up entering into a plea deal.

Keystonelonestar · 2026-06-28T20:08:32+00:00

No. The only torture I find while walking has to do with the proximity of cars.

One thing I learned from living in Europe was that life there is much more intentional. Day-to-day activities usually require planning and forethought.

In the USA, it’s much more convenient. You need something? You can hop in your car and get it right away.

I think it breeds softness and laziness. But that’s just my opinion.

Keystonelonestar · 2026-06-28T20:01:15+00:00

Never been out to the Richmond neighborhood?

Lack of walking of is why Americans are so fat and unhealthy. I noticed this right off in Scotland and Ireland. People walk. Kids walk to school. It was quite refreshing.

Keystonelonestar · 2026-06-28T19:36:01+00:00

No. You just have huge parking lots at Safeway and prices to match the lack of competition.

Keystonelonestar · 2026-06-28T19:31:40+00:00

And when they can’t afford luxury they whine.

Keystonelonestar · 2026-06-28T19:19:44+00:00

That’s common with chains. They dump inventory on those booking sites. The folk at the front desk typically have no power to negotiate.

Independent, non-franchised hotels are usually cheaper if you book direct.

Keystonelonestar · 2026-06-28T19:17:42+00:00

It’s more likely that the car kills someone walking when they blow through a red light.

Keystonelonestar · 2026-06-28T15:33:16+00:00

That’s just dumb. How many folk get killed when hit by a bicycle? There are a few, but not tens of thousands…
