He also got a big tax break to open the restaurant.
...interesting...I have a daughter who lives in Rochester (I warned her) - said it’s mediocre BBQ at best anyway.....
Did xsboy eat here?
The lawsuit sounds ridiculous but its Soros....
See where this goes. If the lines are blurred between those working for tips, and those doing jobs which are not “tippable”, there could be some serious money at stake here.
All waiters do side work. ?? Sounds fishy.
Wrapping silverware and refilling napkin dispensers is hardly out of bounds

Legally, it may make a big difference, if there are segregated job descriptions for employees who do these different tasks.
I never worked in a restaurant. But have had enough other jobs in which I was expected to do things which weren’t exactly part of the official job description. And that could be the case here.
Then again, since tippable workers have a lower minimum wage due to the expectation of getting tips, it seems like they should have to document their time doing the differing tasks at work.
Legally, the lawyers will spend a lot of time and have many billable hours from this case.
I wonder when Soros bought in and started nickel-and-diming the employees, perhaps extracting their teeth for the gold in them. (Just like the old days in occupied Hungary.)
If 20% of their income is not from tips, then they can spend 20% of their time doing other things.
Or we can stop bringing napkins and forks to customers and see what happens to their tips.
When trying to topple the economic pyramid, one could chop off a layer at a time starting from the top or one could take out the bottom in one fell swoop.
All the workers of the class will receive a coupon for 20 percent off their next visit to Dinosaur Bar-B-Que.
The attorneys will take home tens of thousands of dollars.
The obnoxious part of the Dinosaur is that they are constantly giving patrons the bum’s rush in order to turn the table. You can’t go there and have a nice meal, desert and a cup of coffee and some conversation. And it’s attitude on the PA system announcing to the entire restaurant that you are taking too much (in their opinion) time. They expect you to woof down the food, chug your drink and skeedatle ASAP and leave them 20% for being obnoxious.
I enjoyed the Dinosaur when it first opened in Syracuse in early 1990’s, when it went commercial, is when I stopped going.
By the way, all their recipes are in a cookbook that is readily available.
Their just isn’t enough $$$ around to run a profitable enterprise and treat your staff properly and the customer at the same time. Too big a govt chunk taken out in so many ways. Profits today are made by cheating customers or staff.
Get BIG govt out of business and it can return.
Well, dinosaurs have been known to be real cheapskates; no wonder they're extinct!
BTTT for post of the millinium!!!
In the old days( I don't know what you mean about occupied Hungary) Soros simply turned his people in to the Nazis for internment..........and death.
Everywhere I ever waited tables I did side work, its part of the job..
"We strongly discourage tipping your server. The price of your meal already includes a 20% gratuity."
See how they like their wages and no tips!
