I had an interesting experence last night of a penny pinching employer shooting themselves in the foot.
Some cousins visiting here were waiting outside a popular oyster bar restaurant with my brother and I, along with 15/20 other people. When a waitress came out with a sign saying they could only serve oysters and beer.
She went on to say that the cook had just walked out. And that folks in Fl just don't want to work. Seems the cook had gotten feed up at working in the hot kitchen for $8 per hour and left.
So the whole crowd waiting outside left to go elsewhere to find something more than just raw oysters for dinner.
Imagine the loss to the restaurant in losing the bulk of their dinner business. Just because they are to cheap to pay a key employ a descent wage. And Id bet the waiters Don't share their tips with the kitchen either. Pretty sure they didn't get much in tips last night either.
Cheers Richard
