   Who tips anyway…get over it. I prefer the European model, just round up to the next euro. Why should the customer have to pay server salaries.

      Because otherwise they make $2 an hour. In Europe, they are paid a fair wage.

   So, I was excited about going to Isis, until I found out that the owners are cutting corners by having servers tip out (provide part of their tips to) the kitchen. This is illegal practice and should stop. If you have the front money to rehab a space and open a restaurant, you should be able to budget paying your kitchen staff a fair wage and not having servers augment poor wages in order to improve your bottom line.

   I am so sick of workers getting the shaft in this town. We do not exist simply as a vehicle to fill the owner class’ pockets with money. I will not be going to Isis until they change this policy in accordance with federal law, and I will also be spreading the word that they have unfair and illegal labor practices.

         No it is not customary, in the restaurant world. I’ve worked for over a decade in the restaurants, and nowhere worth its salt would try to cheat workers that way. The owners are responsible for paying the wages of kitchen workers–that’s why it is ILLEGAL to make servers tip out kitchen workers.

         It’s just owners trying to pit workers against each other by saying servers should tip out kitchen. It’s bullshit.

            Hi. Having worked for one of the better bars downtown who offered back of the house a living wage of $10-12 an hour plus 15% of bar tips. Those guys would walk with more than a lot of servers in town. So it can be a good thing.

   From what I hear it’s going to be “killer”, both with the beer selection and the back room. Can’t wait, it’s going to be “killer”.
