Aren't you the one who rips others for not backing up their assertions
with facts and references? My post, like your opinions, is based on my
experiences and what I've learned from people in these businesses.
What makes your experiences universal and mine not?

No, I have friends who worked as servers in Las Vegas and in South Lake
Tahoe and they told me they pooled their tips in the casinos, just as
the dealers did. Other friends who have worked as servers in
restaurants have said they share their tips with the bussers.

Again, some can and do, but I know of no nationwide statistics that
rank wait staff, on average, high on any income comparisons. Do you?
It's the whole range of income levels that are impacted by this kind of
legislation, and that's the problem with simply pointing to the few who
do well.

Well, North Korea, North Dakota, Southeastern Alaska, Southern
California, Boston, NYC--wherever there's an internet connection will
do.
