Bain Capital owned OSI tried to cut food server wages in half

I tried to respond with, "so what" but the robot overlords said that was too few characters.

What is the point of the OP? Is it that waiters should be paid minimum wage instead of 1/2 MW? Are the waiters making their real money from tips? Is this supposed to be an indictment of Romney because he ran Bain a decade ago?

What is the point?

He never blamed Romney, in fact he never even mentioned him.
I think the post is very relevant, at least to a point I've been making for quite some time.

It crystalizes the inequity and the pounding that the working/middle class has taken while those at the very top prosper. Not only are they prospering, they want even more and will take it from the working class to get it. I understand they are a business and I want them to prosper.

I can't support cutting the wages of waitresses to squeeze every last penny of profit possible. I could understand if the company was in trouble financially that wages are part of the equation. That isn't the case here. It's commonplace now, disgustingly it's become the standard practice.

We've seem corporate earning soar and income levels of those at the very top soar. At that same time the vast majority of us have stagnated. This isn't a new problem, the trend stated decades ago when we bought the fallacy of trickle down economics. It doesn't work for 97% of us.

WTF? This is a private company not the government that is fucking the American people. That sounds like a T&T post.
