“The mayor has no idea what he’s talking about,” said Michael Saltsman, of the Employment Policies Institute. “The only thing that is going to happen here is it's going to drive servers outside the city because they’re going to find themselves earning less than they did before.” Saltsman said the same policy has been disastrous across the country, most recently in the District of Columbia, causing a rise in service charges, layoffs and restaurant closures.
In reality how would a patron of the restaurant know what the wait staff earns. I have never asked a waitress or waiter what they make. If I get good service I tip accordingly. If the food was not so good but the service was good the same applies.
I ask the waitress what looks good and if they say don’t get the chicken alfredo because 6 people died and 4 are on ventilators I’ll have a BLT with fries instead. LOL

Economic illiteracy is a feature — not a bug — of Johnson’s policies. Wait staff will lose on this deal as restaurants close, cut hours, cut staff, shift to automation and drive thru.

A largely unasked question is becoming glaring: Is Illinois doing all it should to use artificial intelligence to make government cost less and work better? So far, the evidence says no.
