Have you met my Texas yet?

I’ll tell you about this beautiful little lake nestled through the eastern edges of the Texas Hill-country. The lake follows what was known as the Leon River prior to the completion of the Belton Lake Dam in 1954…

@DCBama10 @iqrafatma1278 Then raise the minimum wage for servers. It’s easy. Just an act of Congress.

[Rigel Randolph @RigelRandolph]

@MPJ725681 @iqrafatma1278 You should visit west Texas. Most local restaurants actually impose a service fee of 10% no matter how you pay - to cover their debit/credit card fees.

I call this extremely poor business practice, but hey, add gratuity in there as well… that’s a no for my repeat visit.

[Rigel Randolph @RigelRandolph]

@Fight2bFree11 @lmoorept @iqrafatma1278 And on avg, McDonald’s starting wage nationwide is $13 an hour. Why? Because, just like in Scottsdale, the federal min wage is recognized as insufficient to hire and keep a staff. In other words, that’s the definition of being underpaid.

Facts.

[Rigel Randolph @RigelRandolph]

@Im_opsG @iqrafatma1278 Anyone making less than $10 an hour is underpaid.

$2.13 is the bottom. That’s the lowest pay possible.

No one claims it’s anyone’s problem.

Facts. Keep your feelings in check, bruh.

[Rigel Randolph @RigelRandolph]

@DrCapivara @iqrafatma1278 Like college students, undergrad and grad… right?

Hope you have no friends on this platform that are servers… your food will be prepared extra special.

[Rigel Randolph @RigelRandolph]

@MrJohnAnastasio @iqrafatma1278 I bet she never ONCE complained to you about a table or a large party that tipped poorly.

[Rigel Randolph @RigelRandolph]

@Dyslexic3vil @iqrafatma1278 Tips do pay federal taxes… if claimed. And they should be claimed by the owner.

[Rigel Randolph @RigelRandolph]

@my_exploded @iqrafatma1278 The server didn’t leave the tip. You know damn well it was picked up after they left. Talk about a dumbass…

[Rigel Randolph @RigelRandolph]

@JDApsley @iqrafatma1278 Agreed. Hence the hell no at the end of my post.

[Rigel Randolph @RigelRandolph]

@LeeAnn83648035 @iqrafatma1278 $2.13 for servers receiving tips.

[Rigel Randolph @RigelRandolph]

@CarlitoClassico @iqrafatma1278 Right. That literally happened a few years ago.. remember 2022 and 2023… and the excuse was no one wants to work, young people are all lazy.

Back to shitty wages and less jobs and less people eating out…
I heard someone say recently..

If you’re homeless, just buy a house…

[Rigel Randolph @RigelRandolph]

@pbford21 @iqrafatma1278 Just duck your head in the sand. Easy solution.

[Rigel Randolph @RigelRandolph]

@golfer3691 @iqrafatma1278 You make it seem like America is economically great right now!

There’s significantly fewer people going out to eat. That’s less volume at higher cost. At best it’s even.

[Rigel Randolph @RigelRandolph]

@Krasher247 @iqrafatma1278 Don’t get mad with bare minimum service. You don’t have to eat there. And servers know how to keep repeat a-holes from returning.

[Rigel Randolph @RigelRandolph]

@jurpledrank69 @iqrafatma1278 Some people will never be happy with their job, that’s true.

That doesn’t mean paying shit wages is proper.

[Rigel Randolph @RigelRandolph]

@VarounP17 @iqrafatma1278 Here’s another thought, don’t get mad when you get the bare minimum service as you clearly don’t respect them or the job.

One less a-hole to worry about repeat visits.

[Rigel Randolph @RigelRandolph]

@xavier222222 @iqrafatma1278 Servers could also do the bare minimum when you come in and say they provided you with the minimum standard.

That’ll be good enough to keep you out of those places.

[Rigel Randolph @RigelRandolph]

@Taramisu10 @iqrafatma1278 I’m sure it happened.

If you never complained, there are servers that complain often.

They probably need a new job though….

[Rigel Randolph @RigelRandolph]

@ArthurDunger_Oz @iqrafatma1278 It always looks good on paper.

You sound mad.

Got those feelings inside and don’t know what to do with them…

[Rigel Randolph @RigelRandolph]

@lmoorept @Fight2bFree11 @iqrafatma1278 Already stated, I’ll second…

Federal minimum wage for servers is $2.13 an hour. I’m sure you made more than that.
