I greatly agree with what they did for the change to the ristorante they have greatly improve their income on profit, changed the way of how you society thinks that you have to run your restaurant. I believe that change is a great thing. You might ask why the old way was working ok, but what if the new way could be better and help more people in giving them a higher wage?

    The article "Why Tipping Is Wrong" by the New York restaurateur Danny Meyer, talks about the pros and cons of tipping in restaurants. In my opinion, tipping should be optional to whom would like to leave a tip. I disagree with the article "Why Tipping Is Wrong" for the reason of people work hard to get your meal to you in a efficient manner and give you appreciable customer service. In the article "Why Tipping Is Wrong" states "Tipping has created a two-tiered wage system with deep social and economic consequences for millions". Throughout the article "Why Tipping Is Wrong" I realize that there are many different variations that tipping is being described as racism.…

    I work in a very popular resturant and on weekends the dinner rush can be soul crushing. What keeps me working hard and maintaining a high level of service is the fact that I am making a lot of money. Another way to say this is that the amount of money a tipped worker makes is directly related to how hard they have to work.

    These days, most people choose to go out to eat at a restaurant instead of cooking a meal at home.
