Cant. Reporter we told the mayor about what we witnessed and how they were intimidating people into stopping. He says if theyre breaking the law, they wont get away with it long. If we see any new trend that requires enforcement, i assure you theres no place in the city with more police per square inch than times square. Any new trend will be addressed quickly and aggressively. Reporter some of the characters say theyre working to pay bills or school and a few bad apples shouldnt spoil the bunch. Im lisa evers, fox 5 news. Christina were fortunate to be joined by gayle brewer. Thank you for being here. What do you make of all this . Youre active in this area, especially in times square. I think two things. First of all, to brattons credit, there are specialized cop forces in the area. They know the 1st amendment and the situation. I think most recently when the arrests took place, when 50 was grabbed from the tourist, it was the perpetrator was caught. Thats a good thing. The weather is going to come. Its going to be nice. Then the painted ladies and others will show up. Christina it will be a mob. Youre proposing something a great idea. We want zones where the 1st amendment is alive and well and where people who are costumed or painted can be the tourists can go there. Many people want to have their children taken with batman, with elmo, exactly. So they can go there and have their picture taken. Then if we just want to walk through and not have our picture taken, we can go a different route. Thats what we want the administration to focus on. We can do legislation. Its being proposed in the near future. Christina thats like a commons area between 47th and 42nd going down 7th avenue . The pedestrian plaza, youre a mom as well. The construction should be done at the end of 2016. All the plaza should be done. Thats the time, if not sooner, to get the activity zones or the plazas that are dedicated to the painted ladies and the costumed christina theres been so much mixed reaction from new yorkers and tourists. Some say theyre too aggressive. Some people love them. What do you make of it . York. Im not im not opposed to the painted ladies or the naked cowboy or costumed characters. I dont think they should prey on tourists. Us new yorkers know. For the tourists and the family whos visiting, if you offer 10 you shouldnt have to have 50 grabbed out of your wallet. Christina you want to protect the 1st amendment rights but not for a free for all. Insight. Heres other stories were following. Nassau county police ended their investigation into the sexting scandal involving ed mangano. He claimed he never sent racy texts and tweets to a Public Relations exec. He filmed a marketing segment with her in 2013. Investigators examined their phones and believe it was all a hoax. The phones were not hacked or spoofed. This document could not could have been created by anyone with an agenda. Christina police still dont know who did it.

Christina the days of struggling to calculate 20 percent of your bill for a tip might be coming to an end.

Visit the new York State Office of alcoholism and Substance Abuse services christina welcome back. Our feature story tonight focuses on the growing no Tipping Movement in some new york city restaurants. Its a bold experiment, but will it help or hurt restaurant employees and the service you get there . Kerry drew takes a closer look. The tipping relationship that comes between the diner and the server is antiquated. Reporter when damian opened his restaurant, bruno, in the east village last summer, he did something new and different. He eliminated tipping. At the time, his was the second restaurant in new york city to do it. New york state has specific laws about who can be considered a tip server and who cannot. So to eliminate that problem, one of the solutions was to just forego tipping. Reporter its an idea he says evened the Playing Field it turned service into a team sport where were all working to help each other out. No one is trying to get a bigger tip out of one table than another. Reporter instead of tips, theres an Administration Fee which goes towards running the restaurant. I opened with prices that are, you know, typical to the landscape but added a 20 Administration Fee at the end of it to sort of bridge the gap that i needed to make up to pay everyone a decent wage. Reporter more and more restaurants across new york city are moving forward with no tipping policies. What do customers think about it . Its fair for people who work as a team in the kitchen to share in the benefits, the profits and so on. Im happy that everybody is getting paid what they should. Reporter others are not so sure. I have a sneaky suspicion that will generally sort of erode service. I think waiters and servers are motivated by Better Service when theres a tip involved. If theres no tipping involved, how do they prioritize their tables and their quality of work . I dont know if its a good idea. Im happy to be a part of the growing conversation. I think it was the right move for us when we opened. I like to re rethink old tired concepts and envision how they might change and develop. Christina well, we have a change. Were joined by chlt how much do people tip . Is it really 20 percent . Thanks for having me, first of all. Good to be here. I think that it varies. It depends on what kind of restaurant youre in. I think on average, 20 percent is about what the Industry Standard sees. I think most calculations see 18. But 20 across the board is comfortable. Christina it seems pretty standard. Whats interesting is your other restaurant, theres no tipping. How is that working out for you . I know. Christina do people like it . Were still trying to figure that out. It has been a huge success for us. Its really a way for us to redistribute some of the talent back and forward by distributing some of the gratuities backward and forwards to the back of the house and the front of the house. As we grow our business and try and compete in the industry, were losing talent to other areas, to creative arts, to television media. Were losing some of the young people that would have started in our profession and moved on to other places. We have to get more adult in the way we approach our provision. Christina the Food Industry is changing so much as well. Absolutely. Just a few years ago, it was unheard of for a line cook to have health insurance. Now not just because of the something we want to do for our employees. Christina its a new career. It costs money. What we decided to do was take everything and put it together and level it out for everyone. Christina chef, if you take away the incentive of getting a tip for Top Notch Service, do you still get the Top Notch Service that customers expect . I think thats a good question. Some people have naysayers have said historically service in europe has been poor. Christina like the dmv . What do you want . I think its the opposite. I believe no matter what shift youre working, you know youll make a liveable wage. Youre not starting at the bottom of the pole and trying to work your way up to good shifts where you can make more money. I think it levels it out where people strive to become part of that team. Christina thats interesting. You have two restaurants, charlie bird where tipping is allowed and one where it is not. Do you think charlie bird will go that way . I think it will. Once youve opened, its complicated to change a team since the other just opened, we started fresh there. For us, its the future. Its the future of the restaurant industry. Christina very interesting. Cutting edge stuff. Thanks a lot. Great to be here. Christina your tip will be in your jar later. Russ joins me after the break with changes. And and come back next week for a look at a local school that decided to go all vegetarian for school lunch. Monday, well tell you why its a huge hit. Christina time for sports with russ. An interesting turn in the Jason Pierre Paul saga. Whats going on . Russ Everybody Knows what happens to him on july 4th, the fireworks accident which cost him his right index finger and the tip of his thumb. To his credit, he battled back. Once he did come back, he had himself a darned good season. Better than just about everybody expected for the giants. That said, though, Jason Pierre Paul is suing espn and reporter adam shefter for disclosing his christina thats protected by law. Russ i was asking some lawyers this afternoon about it. Thats kind of like who is culpable in the situation . Christina what happened . Russ one lawyer said, well, it depends how you get your information. If somebody drops something on my desk or your desk and it just got there, are we doing something wrong by breaking the information . He did admit later on in an interview that he should have done more to protect that information. Having said that, were not lawyers, but having said that, ill let the lawyers sort it out. That is an admission that he did something wrong. Its going to be interesting to see. Christina all right. Lets talk about rules. A slide rule . Russ everybody can remember ruben ta jata breaking his leg. Rule and it starts this season, if youre going to slide into second base to break up a double play, you have to show that you were within reach with your foot or with your arm of touching the bag, which, you know listen, nobody wants to see anybody hurt. The true blue believers, the purists of baseball, theyre not going to like the rules same way they dont like the rule about catchers. They cant block the plate. Christina so many rules now. If that protects players. Russ let our dear friend yogi berra rest in peace. He said you block the plate, you block the plate. You dont want to see anybody it is important. The game has changed. The world has changed. I could see that rule being in effect. Also, theyre trying to speed up the game. Christina another rule. Russ in terms of i think its only 30 seconds that a manager can talk to a pitcher and theres going to be time breaks. Tv timeouts. That said, baseball is a billion dollar several billion dollar industry. Someones got to pay the bills. Those are commercial breaks. Christina its our bread and butter. Dont bite the hand that throws the pitch. Russ baseball is here on fox. Exactly. Christina a little boy in afghanistan took the video world by storm. The boy got a real jersey. The team sent the fiveyearold an actual signed messi jersey. He said i love him and my shirt says messi loves me. We dont know yet if Bernie Sanders will be our next president. Hes a match maker.
