Tom Steyer vows to raise minimum wage to $22 if elected
Quick story here....went last week to a local eatery. Always hiring. In fact, they used to advertise they would pay a referral fee if you sent someone over who got hired. There were 2 hostesses and a fairly empty restaurant. We counted approximately 15 employees (we could see into the kitchen area, but there may have been more), and maybe 10 people in the restaurant.The hostesses had next to nothing to do. My wait staff, however, didn't do much, either. Even after we ordered drinks, it was about a full 10 minutes before someone else came by, can we help you, we ordered drinks, she just hasn't brought them yet. So she arrives, I'm so sorry, I put in your order but forgot the drinks. Meanwhile, we know this is a lie because it's one of those places you can see everything - her chatting with the bartender, she's on her phone, she's talking with one supervisor/manager, then another, then laughing, they're just doing nothing. The guys in the kitchen are actually WORKING. The supervisor walked around a lot, looking busy. Took a solid 20 minutes before they cleaned off the table next to us from the diners who had left before we even got there.
So yeah, while I do enjoy their calamari, the rest of the food Ain't Good Enough for the rest of the mess.
And Tom Steyer can just fuck himself right in the ass.
And no, I'm not in NYC, but this was also interesting...
