Back in December, we reported on the Trump administration's proposed changes to tip-pooling regulations that would allow employers to pocket servers' tips as long as the employees continue to make minimum wage. That's right: Employers could take servers' tips and just dole out the minimum wage. But wait, it gets worse!
Turns out, the Department Of Labor knew how crappy this would make life for restaurant employees. This Bloomberg Law article, citing sources within the agency, reveals that the Department Of Labor knowingly buried its own data that showed restaurant workers would lose billions of dollars in gratuities under the new proposal.

It doesn't matter whose hands to what. You pay your staff good and pass the expense on to me. Don't turn me into your fucking accountant and don't make me stare into your waitresses's soulless eyes as she tries to flirt an extra buck out of me. "Any more refreshments for this handsome gentleman"
