What's this?

I like this part of the article

"At Mac and Bob’s, Rotanz said, servers’ tips average “20 percent or more.” On rare occasions when tips don’t bring waiters and waitresses’ earnings up to $7.25 per hour, the restaurant makes up the difference, Rotanz said."

Ummm, that's because it's THE LAW. Not because you're some wonderful benefactor.

The fact these guys existed for 20 years w/o an HR audit of their polices -- ModerateHokie 09/20/2018 09:30AM

Eh, not really practical for a small mom and pop to conduct HR audits. -- BG Hokie 09/20/2018 09:43AM
