As bad as 2020 has been, Restaurants and it’s employees may have it worse than most.
Was watching a news report on the state of the economy. One of worst hit is restaurants. Specifically servers who work them.
According to the report, tips are down between 75% and 90% nationwide. That is HUGE.
And devastating.
Because of that, a lot of restaurants are reevaluating how they pay their staff, and many are raising hourly wages to incentivize people to return to work.

Yakima has some great restaurants with some great people employed therein. So when I hear that tipping is down, this includes Yakima as part of this nationwide trend. And it breaks my heart.
