Treat those who work in the service industry fairly. Its time for change
Why is this important?
People in the service industry, especially servers, are taking a beating,due to the economy. We make $5hr, around $3 after taxes. We depend on our tips to survive. The average tip 5yrs ago was between 15 & 18%. It is now between 10 & 13%. A good percentage of people dont tip at all. This is unexceptable and change needs to happen. Either raise the hourly wage or automatically add 15% to any service. 18% to parties of 8 or more. Help our hard working citizens get what they work very hard for.
