"What Is a Living Wage? A living wage refers to a theoretical income level that allows an individual or family to afford adequate shelter, food, and the other basic necessities. The goal of a living wage is to allow employees to earn enough income for a satisfactory standard of living and to prevent them from falling into poverty. Economists suggest that a living wage should be substantial enough to ensure that no more than 30% of it gets spent on housing."
"What Is Poverty? Poverty is a state or condition in which a person or community lacks the financial resources and essentials for a minimum standard of living. Poverty means that the income level from employment is so low that basic human needs can't be met. Poverty-stricken people and families might go without proper housing, clean water, healthy food, and medical attention. Each nation may have its own threshold that determines how many of its people are living in poverty."

Pay and tip up front so the server knows how to deal with you. Lol....this works great in a bar. BEFORE you order your mixed drink from the bartender, tip first , then order your mixed drink. If you tip decent , your drink will taste like premium gasoline on steroids......

"Fast-food workers across the U.S. are striking Thursday to demand higher wages, and it turns out they're not alone in believing the federal minimum wage of $7.25 an hour is much too low. A majority of Americans—71 percent—support hiking the minimum to $10, according to the 2013 American Values Survey by the Public Religion Research Institute. Democrats overwhelmingly support an increase, and even a majority of Republicans do. The minimum wage “is that rare issue where there is bipartisan and cross-religious support,” says Dan Cox, PRRI's research director. Except for the Tea Party, that is."
Blast from the past.

If you're averaging $18+ an hour with tips waiting 8 tables are you going to be OK taking a $3 an hour pay cut to wait those same 8 tables?
The good servers will find something else to do as soon as they are able... The servers who were poor or marginal will stay and soak up the $15 and not care about improving their service.

Minimum wage $15.00 / hr. I teach it in econ every day to my students. Results will be Higher prices Fewer businesses Buying power for everyone else that does not see this increase decrease. Unless you get the same increase, which you won't. Minimum wage is not a nor ever was intended to be a livable wage. If you want something work for it, better yourself.
PS my 9th grades just got the talk about being lazy and always giving up when looking for information gets a little bit tough!! ARRGGHHHH!!!!

So will a raise In the minimum wage have an effect on how much welfare will be paid out. I may be wrong but I'm thinking that anyone working for minimum wage as It Is know Is also getting a government hand out.

Well Beav I have been qualified for gubmint handouts most of my adult life, doesn't mean they give them to you. You actually have to ask, or at least say "Yes" to them. I know a lot about living large below the official poverty level without gubmint handouts for the poor. That is why I have zero sympathy for the so called people living in poverty as defined by the government.
