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.

The trick is to hire good employees and value the service they provide to you, their employer. That would entail good customer service. Pay them well. What we have here though, is not a situation where the employees needs are of paramount concern, and they should be because without them you have nothing, but rather a way for large businesses to make a money grab.
Well, guess what? Somebody is going to pay. We'll end up with lousy servers. Note: this does not include all cases, as pointed out above but for your average Friday's or Longhorn or whatever... Well, wait and see.
