Restaurant busboys, in line to earn a little more dough this year as minimum wage hikes hit across the country, are instead losing their jobs as chains look to cut costs.

One chain axing jobs is Red Robin, which hopes to save about $8 million this year by eliminating busboys at each of its 570 restaurants, the company said Monday.

Red Robin restaurants are located mostly in Western states, where the minimum wage has risen more quickly.

Progressives are such insufferable narcissistic morons.

They are about to find out what the REAL minimum wage is - ZERO!

[blueunicorn6]

They’ll be canning busboys?

I guess that’s better than freeze drying them.

I thought $12.50 an hour would make everyone’s dreams come true!?~sarc

Ahhhh you beat me to it. I had that album.

So the one who serves your food will also be handling dirty dishes.

Tell customers if they bus their own tables, they get $2 off the meal.☺ If they clean the their own dishes, they get an additional $2 off coupon for their next meal.

And busboys Don’t forget!

[AppyPappy]

You’ll bus your own table

But didn’t the liberals and media tell me that this would never happen?

[DoodleDawg]

Money doesn’t grow an tress...no matter what liberals think.

But they're getting that huge tax cut. Wasn't the pitch from Congress and the President that all that extra money would give corporations the opportunity for increasing employee wages? I guess not.

[HombreSecreto]

You did? I’m jealous!

[Crucial]

At first I read that as “caning busboys”. Geez, assaulting your employees win’t help the bottom line!

[shotgun]

The food is served on a tray in a basket. I’m fully capable of tossing my garbage and putting the tray and basket up on the return rack. They will have to start serving their drinks in paper or plastic cups though.

I used to work as a cashier for Red Robin. I hated every moment of it. Only when a cute hot chick came in made my life easier but that’s it..
