Staff Wanted

Re: Staff Wanted

Hopefully wages going up ��.
You might say prices will go up too. But surely that’s better than exploiting cheap foreign workers.
Some of which were trafficked and led into a life of slavery.

On the modern slavery point, don't you think that most are not EU nationals coming through legal channels but more likely people entering illegally with no legal right to work? The two nationalities most exploited based on arrest data are Albanians and Vietnamese.

Re: Staff Wanted

Did you know the federal minimum cash wage in hospitality is $2.13? And the federal minimum cash plus tip wage in hospitality is $7.25? https://www.dol.gov/agencies/whd/sta...um-wage/tipped

In the UK the minimum wage for a 21+ year old is GBP8.36 ($11.36 equivalent). https://www.gov.uk/national-minimum-wage-rates

I’m sure that you are aware of how lucrative a “career” in hospitality is in the US.
Took a while to get my head around the annoyance of tipping well, but a minimum of 20% it has been for at least 17 years.

People in hospitality are payed very very well here, it’s comparative to wages and cost of housing/rent and groceries though.

My Sister in law in Columbus OH, not payed as well in that industry but relative to any other industry there.

Yeah, I said cheap foreign labor.

Brexit is done.
Do you intend using Brexit as a yardstick for every success or more likely every failure from here in out?

There are many strong arguments for Brexit, but trafficking and coercing eastern Europeans in to the sex trade isn't really one of them i'd say

Re: Staff Wanted

My oldest daughter was contacted by a Agency ( we know the manager ) and asked did she have any friends who wanted some work, had to be 18 ( so we guessed it was bar work ) paying £9.50 a hour, she has been asked to work every night for the last 2 weeks and next 2 weeks ( she was pinged so had to turn down the last 8 days ) 3pm to 12

her and a few mates filled in the forms, then another Agency offered them work ( we guess the 1st agency has a mole who is passing details on to this other agency )

they just cannot get the staff for these events, be it the bar at gigs or running around at weddings

so she now has 4 X " 0 hour jobs " ( though her 2 swim teaching jobs have regular hours, but are not contracted ) which i know 0 hour contracts get a bad raps, but in the right place, they work well ( in this case as a student it does for her )

What's the name of the Agencies BM?

You're pretty free and easy with your opinions on Brexit for someone who lives 3500 miles away

Have you not offered your opinion on American politics?

Regardless.

Wales is the home of my heart.
Where my Dad and my Brother live.
Where I’d like to return to.
Where I tried and couldn’t qualify to get a visa for my (then 15 years married) Wife because we didn’t have £65k in the bank.

Pass muster with you now you snotty t**t?

My kids cut their teeth in the service industry after we emigrated to Canada. They made an extraordinary amount of money…. tiny hourly wage but the tips were out of this world… it wasn’t unusual for them to make $2000 a week all in.

Canadians typically tip 20% on any service bill… scared me at first but now second nature. A pint of beer is $8-$10 …. It soon mounts up… everything is table service… there is no queuing at a bar!

Not really sure what any of that has got to do with the successes and failures of Brexit, and don't be so moody.

I’m really not a fan of the tipping culture of the US

It does get a better product but breeds a entitlement

The implications of Brexit will run for years and years. Just because it has happened doesn't mean that things that go wrong as a result should be swept under the carpet under the mantra of "getting on with it" and "making it work".

It's like dropping a dead elephant in a sewer. As the shit backs up into people's houses we get told to deal with it, that now the elephant is there we accept it as that's what people wanted

I’d agree with the entitlement perspective but it’s really the bar and restaurant owners that are the root cause. If they paid a more appropriate hourly rate the situation could be different, but because it’s so universally poor, the behaviour has shifted so that it’s the customer who is ‘expected’ to make up the difference in tips.

You’re also right though, that the product is better as a consequence
