The day that customer-facing bartenders are replaced will be the day everyone just drinks at home. If I owned a restaurant that's exactly what I'd get for the servers to operate. No over-pours, no theft, no inconsistency, and no waiting for the bartender to finish with their customers before making your drinks. The only way that machine is a negative is if it breaks down easily. Humans are there to encourage repeat customers, people still like to talk to an actual person. Amazing, eh? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But when she showed up to work the next day, she was sent home and then fired, she said. She argued that she had been diligent and reliable, but he cited some tardiness that she said resulted from conflicts with her classes at Mercy College. Ok so she said she has been diligent and reliable. He said she had been tardy which she didn’t argue. She actually gave a reason. Her tardiness was due to her classes. Sorry dear. Bosses don’t care why you’re tardy. I am so glad I’m out of that business. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we had machines replace bartenders five years ago, AOC isn't in Congress. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously, it was way too complicated for B-Man to figure out Prior to this increase, 9 of every 10 restaurants opened fail within their first year of operation. It is a dire business to enter....

It's why they don't do it in movie theaters, in case someone decides to go on a shooting spree. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buffalo_Gal Posted July 14, 2019 Share Posted July 14, 2019 Progressive wage policies helped force upscale eatery operator Restaurants Unlimited Inc. into bankruptcy, according to court documents filed Sunday. The company, which operates 35 restaurants ranging from fine dining to “polished casual” eateries, including Henry’s Tavern, Stanford’s and Kincaid’s, filed for Chapter 11 protection in Delaware on Sunday. Minimum wage hikes, two disappointing restaurant openings and consumers shunning casual dining are to blame for the bankruptcy filing, Chief Restructuring Officer David Bagley said in court papers. “Over the past three years, the company’s profitability has been significantly impacted by progressive wage laws along the Pacific coast that have increased the minimum wage,” Bagley said. “As a large employer in the Seattle metro market, for instance, the company was one of the first in the market to be forced to institute wage hikes.” </snip> 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paulus Posted July 19, 2019 Share Posted July 19, 2019 (edited) My problem is that the cost of everything has gone up, and wages have not. The average quality of life in America has gone to sit for anyone who isn't a boomer. We need to start killing off the old people and take their lands. Only solution.
