Seattle sees fallout from $15 minimum wage, as other cities follow suit

[ttystikk]

I don't fucking tip that much.

You must've worked at McDonald's, then. I tip twenty percent because I've had that job and I know how hard it is. If I can't afford to tip like that, I'll fix my own damn sandwich.

 

[UncleBuck]

Expecting everything and everyone to be equal is naive.

strawman not even worth addressing except to point out its strawlike nature.

 

[UncleBuck]

So when you took a job at mcdonalds you assumed you were all set, right? No need for anything else, Ronald was going to pave your way? That's all you'd ever need?

i would assume any full time, 40 hour a week job is enough for a person to afford basic food clothing and shelter.

wouldn't you?

 

[UncleBuck]

Your far fetched allegations

i did not make any allegations and my statements were not far fetched.

you made two racially charged, racist statements within a span of minutes in two different threads.

blame yourself for saying racist shit, not me for pointing it out.

twat.

 

[UncleBuck]

What would happen to employees already making above minimum wage?

so if your husband, who you say is making $13 an hour, gets a raise to $15 an hour because that's what the new minimum wage is, would you be upset?

I never worked at McDonald's, but I do prefer to fix my own damn sandwich. I didn't say I can't afford it, I just don't fucking tip that much.

Fuck tipping. People should just earn living wages.

And you said your husband make $13.00 and hour. Is that part time? If so, I hope he's going to school or something because if that's his income you then are carrying the freight or living off your parents. Maybe that's the way you want it.

We live comfortably enough. We have good credit and a mortgage in a nice neighborhood. We save and budget.

I love you too. Lol

I say tipping well for a job well done is its own pleasure. I can certainly see the cheapskates outnumber me, however.

It's not about being a cheapskate. I think that people should earn a living wage and not have to rely on tips. In Europe it is not customary to tip at all, and there are better restaurants with better food and better service there.

His electrical labor should be worth more than a general laborer.

I always thought of movie theatres, fast food, and groceries as a job for teens that live at home. Something to pad their resume to get that coveted bed bath and beyond job or something one ate up the pay ladder.

 

[UncleBuck]

20% is the new 15%, i never go below unless they fucked up pretty bad.

25%-30% or more is my standard if my glass never goes dry.

i see middle aged and older persons working for fast food or other food service jobs all the time.

but would you be upset if your husband came home and told you that he was now getting paid $15 an hour instead of $13 an hour?

I would not be upset. I would be a little concerned for layoffs or cut hours.

I would not be upset. I would be a little concerned for layoffs or cut hours.

if that happened, would you just do what everyone else says for people to do in order to get by?

ya know, go back to school, take on a roommate or two, work two more jobs, collect old cans and cash them in, so on and so forth?

after all, according to you, you're not entitled to a living wage.

I would definitely look into roommates if a situation of no employment persisted for two to three months.

Husband would probably join the state union electricians for a pay increase after a couple years.

I think it was pinhead...not sure on name, who posted about roofers starting at 19 $ in union jobs.

We would do what we had to. I worked and went to college when he was minimum wage.

There are definitely programs in place to help too.

 

[UncleBuck]

against a livable wage so you'd join a union?

lol, republicans.

My apologies. Then it seems WE are outnumbered! While that may be true about tipping in Europe, I enjoy having a say in compensating my server. I don't take advantage of them.

lol, republicans.

I'd do what Id have to do.

There are jobs paying 9-10 all over in my area. Just have to not be a felon and pass a piss test.

Lawn and roofing pays pretty good. 13 starting with room for raises.
