As always, saying the truth gets you in trouble with the PC police.
Government is always trying to force businesses to operate at a loss, by hiring incompetents, or serving people who won’t obey the rules of society.
I think just discussing this would be considered racist. /sarc
Why prove anything?
People who bring the question up are the ones with the problem.
“Since when is it racist for a business to determine where it wants to do business?”
When race is the predominant factor in the decision, I suppose.
I heard Canadians don’t tip very well, either.
I'd be willing to bet it's a lot more difficult to find people there willing to hide them and lie to the police about whether they've seen them after the crime has been committed.
Why is the presumption that the restauranteur is not asserting fact?
Why is it connoted that locating in a particular place is dependent on race [and not labor economics?] Couldn’t it also be a million other things?
Correlation does not assert causation. They teach that in middle school in my grand daughter’s school.
Baldness and old age have a strong positive correlation... but that does not mean baldness causes old age or that old age causes baldness. 70% of car accidents happen within 5 miles of one’s home. Does being close to home cause accidents? Of course not... 70% of driving occurs within 5 miles of one’s home.
Lurking variables ...
They’re counting on the ignorance of the citizens they govern.
Fish or Cut BAit!
in Myrtle beach there was bike week and then blacks would come in on their rocket bikes and have their black bike week for 4 days.
For the 10 days in the city there was 1 arrest in the Harley crowd and that was being drink.
In the 4 days after there were over 200 arrests restaurants closed down for the event, stores closed their doors.
When the city tried to ban black bike week the NAACP said it was due to racism.
When store owners, restaurant owners , hotel owners were asked why do you close your business they all said that the bills were never paid, they ordered drinks or meals, got tabs and then ran out, there were sometimes 20 in a room of a motel which was against the motel owners laws and rules.
Police told of drugs, drunks, fights, black women bearing all up and down the strip, wearing next to nothing which I suppose would be nice if they were not all bearing 200 pounds of a massive rear load.
There was speeding, wheelies and the locals had enough.
in the end the city had to close it all down because of black groups not understanding that they have a problem in their communities and the law and it was not racism but people fed up of idiots acting like idiots
So post a sign on the door and menus that says all checks include a tip.-— period.
It’s not really a part of the culture in Australia either. IMO, it’s silly. Restaurants should just pay their employees and let tips be ACTUAL tips rather than a necessary part of the compensation. Or at least include a percentage “tip” in the bill as a mandatory service fee and incorporate it into the menu prices.
why doesn;t white women married or going with black guys move to black areas instead of them always moving to white too, why don’t they open businesses in these fine well to do black areas?
When race is the predominant factor in the decision, I suppose.
But race would only be the predominant factor for business reasons. It's ironic - - a regular "Catch-22". It's like when banks were turning down mortgage applicants with crappy credit histories. Blacks as a group have crappier credit histories than whites and so were turned down more frequently than white applicants. Voila! Must be racism! In reality, it is 2013 and the kind of racism that puts the color green second to any other color is pretty much non-existant.
Of course, reality has never stopped the race-hustling scum and their victim-class minions from hollering "racism!"
it has been said for 150 years:
You can believe the civil war is over when Democrats start tipping in restaurants.
“So post a sign on the door and menus that says all checks include a tip.-— period.”
That’s what makes the story seem kind of off to me. These chain restaurants are going to turn down potentially profitable revenue streams because a problem that can be easily solved with a mandatory tip policy? Most of them are already doing that for large parties, just do it across the board and put a sign out front to that effect.
