I don't go to these chain places often, but when I do, like Burger King, I am kinda surprised at how expensive it all got.
And I look around and the customers 'appear' to be normal lower income people and I wonder are these people really eating here often enough to support this model?
Thoughts? I don't eat at this chain. $25 an hour is $52,000 annual. Looks like only the servers get tips, not the cooks...
I agree they work pretty hard.
Near me there is a Subway offering $20 an hour plus tips.
Of course when the cost of labor goes up so does the cost of what they produce.
My wife and I used to go out to eat often but then Covid hit and that was stopped. Today the prices have gone up and going out is a luxury and Worse is when we do we often walk away feeling that we could have prepared a better meal at home for less and with more healthy ingredients.
$30 an hour at the Waffle House might just put them out of business.
“It’s a stressful environment,” said Ebbini, a Waffle House worker in Asheville, North Carolina, in a recent video posted by the USSW. “I would like to get paid more. I get paid $10 an hour and then I’m supposed to get tips, but nobody really tips like that at the Waffle House.”
And there's the problem.
I've read in past where some restaurant workers resisted a set higher minimum wage because then they'd lose the potential to make even higher wages from customer tips.
Not our fault people who frequent Waffle House are cheapskates who don't tip.
And as we see this concept that service workers 'deserve' a much higher minimum hourly wage (that are sometimes higher than some jobs that require a degree and hard skills) is spreading.
These types of jobs were never meant to be career jobs with the usual advancement, career progression, and salary increases. Yet these workers are now demanding it.
Waffle House is probably a 90% red state operation. I guess the people who work there are seeing all this money that the commie lib states are paying in restaurants.
Either that or they just think they need more money to put up with obnoxious red state customers.

Or they could move to one of those amazing blue states like California, get a job at Burger King, and earn their $20/hour or whatever the state-mandated wage is now.
But go ahead and keep thinking they make nothing and survive off tips
