Reply #343: Think what happened was the "3 martini lunch" put the TIP on the corporations bill.....

[defendandprotect]

so it was immaterial to the guy "buying" lunch --

and the corporations could deduct it as a business expense.

Restaurant owners got used to that idea -- and they don't want to pick up the

bill now -- it would have to be done gradually because wait staff salaries are

embarrassingly low!

No -- I'm not wait staff -- but I was speaking of the nation's wages -- all are

stagnant -- and minimum wage has to be converted to a LIVING wage!!
