Trump made a similar promise at his own rally in the city in June — though neither he nor Harris are likely to be able to fully do that without actions from Congress.
Not much of a gift anymore when everyone expects a minimum of – what is it now – 25%? The expected minimum percentage keeps increasing as people endlessly grandstand about the amount they pay because of how much workers depend on tips for their income. Then there’s shame at play if you don’t comply, with some thinking it’s okay to mess with the food if one doesn’t pay the expected minimum “gift”. It’s really just extortion at that point.
