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.

    Yes! The best food (and service) is usually from the small mom and pop restaurants.

    This one place I went to had the BEST 'spaghetti/meat' sauce with just the right amount of chili heat! They, I left tips for because I always had over-service, lol

    Owner died, (wife retired) and now we got McDoo-Doos. Fecking hell.
