One of the demands in the 1963 March on Washington where MLK JR gave his "I have a dream" speech was a $2 minimum wage (it was $1.25 at the time). Adjusting for inflation that's $15.24 $8 dollars today is the equivalent of $.98 in 1963, a quarter less than what was legal to pay someone back then.

Minimum wage has failed to keep up with inflation, and the GOP is largely at fault here.

Skwirl posted:It's kinda funny to me that restaurant owners and managers generally understand that quality ingredients for their food and good booze for the bar costs more than lower quality ones, but can't accept the same principle applies to labor. If you can measure the health of your business by total food cost, and the ROI, then labor should work similarly WRT pass through accounting. Minimizing costs is not the way, despite what some may think. Maximizing your return is, so not buying enough labor when you're getting a good return, is worse than a surplus.

It probably takes you more effort to doctor the poo poo up than to just trash it too. People leave drinks all over my workplace all the loving time, but instead of being passive aggressive about it I pitch it or say “hey is this yours?” and they take care of it.

It's the same principle as the douchebag who would heat a pan to 500 in the oven and then tell his least favorite dish guy to grab it, to "teach him a lesson." Don't be that guy.

Except one injures a person and one makes your diet Coke taste bad. As a line cook we used to salt people drinks if they left them lying around because that poo poo was funny. One bartender left a beer in the walkin and kept coming back to swig from it. So we filled it with tobasco. That poo poo was hilarious. Granted we were all 16-22 so everything was funny back then.

I think everyone is jumping a little hard on the jerk move, but having read the initial comment, I think my reaction boils down to this? 1) this sounds like a company policy/health code compliance thing where you are allowed to have your coffee on station but not in a way that threatens the safety of your food prep. 2) employees are trained to and supposed to follow food safety, as well as this extra policy 3) they aint, despite repeated reassurances and speakings-to. 4) it IS a jerk move, but learning is done through repitition 5: Practical jokes have a purpose, as long as they are actually harmless 6) salt is not poison, but it does open the door to other liabilities/funnies. 'oh gee, salt wasn't working, lets put _x_ other dumbass substance in because boss does it 7) better S&T TT in your drink than a write up. 8) I think I'd rather have some seasoning in my drink than the alternative which is 'who threw my drink out and put the empty cup back in the holder?', which is what more liability focused management would do: get rid of the health violation immediately, then follow up with whomever it was to correct your behavior. The latter is just ugh for simple mistakes; the former is something i can laugh about. Question: Who's more salty? the staff, or their drinks?

Errant Gin Monks posted:Except one injures a person and one makes your diet Coke taste bad. Basically this. Letting a dishwasher grab a 500 degree pan is assault, possibly aggravated assault depending on jurisdiction/severity of injury. Tossing some salt or vinegar into a drink that's been left out is a dick move, sure, but it's a bigger dick move to just send them home every time. One of those reactions is basically a reminder to the employee not to be an idiot over something that's been communicated at least once (and it sounds like multiple times), the other reaction is a quick way to gently caress with someone's income and give them a reason to look for work elsewhere.

If somebody pours salt in my drink and I spit it allover the floor, I am not going to be the one to clean it up. Nobody learns anything from somebody randomly putting poo poo in their drink aside from that somebody they work with is an rear end in a top hat. Tell them "This isn't where this goes. Next time I'm going to have to send you home/write you up." And when they do it again, follow through with it. I don't believe out idioting your idiot subordinates accomplishes anything except having an entire kitchen of idiots.
