Yeah, pretty much standard here in Massachusetts. It was up as a ballot question last November to raise the minimum wage for tipped workers from $6.75 to $15.00 over the next 5 years and it didn't pass. Probably best as the cost of the increase hourly wage would have been just passed on to customers plus a tip still would have been expected. Either way, the price of dining out and costs in general post covid are just out of control. On a separate note, really enjoy Kiwi Yamabushi and happy to support your work!
Tim, thanks for your message and thanks for your continued support! I’m so happy you are enjoying my work!
Is that right? So there is some initiative to change things. I guess it’s one of those things where it just needs more support, but as you say, that probably won’t happen for a while now. It’s such a deep-rooted culture though, even five years seems ambitious!

No need for the Alabama slander.
No need to guess where you’re from…
Look it does suck here to a degree, but despite that it still holds beauty and value.
I don’t doubt that in the slightest! I’m sure it’s a wonderful place. The jab at Alabama is nothing personal.
