Piggybacking on this, the vast amount of lemon-flavored desserts are WAY too sweet.
Actually, allow me to amend. Most desserts. In general. Too much sugar and too much vanilla. Scale yo' shit back.
I agree with you. The problem is most people forget that the fruits have a natural flavor that doesnt need a shit load of sugar and vanilla. Most fruits taste delicious with a basic shortbread crust and a little whip creme. Some people only have vanilla in thier "arsenal"
UO: I'm glad the fast food workers in NY will be getting $15/hour. I worked in fast food for 8 years out of necessity, and when my mom was laid off in her 60s it was the only job she could get. She has an MFA. It's not just the place that losers with no ambition go to die.

Especially since you don't generally make tips. Although even as a server it sucked to only be getting 9$/hr when the place was dead. That is awesome to hear!

I know you'll be able to enlighten me on this: while I agree no one can support a family on minimum wage, and there are plenty of well educated people who happen to work minimum wage...
Won't employers just cut workers down to part time hours to recoup their losses?

$9/hr as a server?! That's awesome.
I think I made something like $2.50/hr when I was waitressing.

A lot will. They will cut hours and staffing levels so the dollar amounts come out the same.
But I'm sure their CEO's will still make their monies so it's all good.

You would love to see what's being posted on my FB today. Being in NY everyone is taking it personally and it's nothing but rants about how "unfair" it is and that people are going to quit their jobs. There's been a bit of blocking going on my end. Why the fuck to people care so much about what other people make?

What? Holy shit!!! Where are you? When I first started working in Ontatio min. Wage was 7.25 and servers wage was... I want to say 6 something this was around 2005ish. Now minimum wage is around $11 I think and server wage is 8.95

Possibly. There will also probably be lay offs. But we saw this exact same argument with the ACA. EVERYONE WILL BE PUT ON PART TIME SO THEY DON'T HAVE TO COVER BENEFITS!!!1!1. It just didn't happen. Obviously, something will have to happen with franchise owners, but the corporations will easily be able to cover the increased costs. McDonalds still runs successful stores in Australia and Europe, where minimum wages are much higher. And, no, a Big Mac in Perth is not $5000 as a result.

In the U.S. waitresses are exempt from minimum wage laws because they make tips.
There were some weeks that my paycheck was zero because the taxes on my tips were so high that I didn't even get to take home my hourly rate.

Holy crap. 2something actually makes me sick. How is that legal? I had days where I had literally 2 customers the whole shift. I'd be lucky to come home with $20 if that were the case. Jesus.

There were times after tipping out that I was negative monies.

I want to tell those people to shut the fuck up and quit, then. Go work at McDonalds then. If it's better for your family, do it.
The fast food workers organized together and made this change happen. Being chafed because your industry didn't put in the work to affect legislation is only your fault.

Let me play Devils advocate for a bit: who is in a business with the intention not to make money? No one.
As much as I agree that minimum wage is my battle to die on I also understand that a lot of fast food workers work for a franchise that has franchisment fees and such to pay and can't really afford to pay their employees more without operating in the red.

Right. That's why it's not exactly the awesome solution it should be.

$2.13/hr for servers. They are supposed to make up the rest in tips. Some days it happens, others it doesn't.
There were times my roommate would come home crying because she worked a double and didn't even clear $40 because it was so slow and shitty tippers.
