Waitress chasing group that ran out on bill is abducted and assaulted, police sayPhil Helsel Mon, June 21, 2021, 8:03 PM·1 min read Police in New Jersey are looking for five people who they say abducted and assaulted a waitress who chased after them over an unpaid $70 bill, authorities said. The group ran out on the bill at a restaurant in Gloucester County south of Philadelphia around 11:15 p.m. Saturday, Washington Township police said. "The vehicle's running, the headlights are on, and they're ready to flee the area, the back door's open," Police Chief Patrick Gurcsik told NBC Philadelphia. "And at that point, there's some sort of confrontation at the vehicle and our victim ends up inside the vehicle." The waitress was left by the side of a state highway. She suffered bruising to her face and neck and a possible concussion, Gurcsik told the station. The waitress, who is 20, did not have her cellphone with her. Gurcsik called it a brazen abduction, robbery and potential kidnapping. Police released photos of three men and two women wanted for questioning and say they were in a white Dodge Durango. The incident was captured on surveillance video from outside the restaurant. The restaurant, Nifty Fifty's, said in a statement that the safety of its staff is the company's top priority. "We value our employees and want them to know that no amount of money is worth their lives, nor is it their responsibility. We are sending thoughts and prayers to our employee for a speedy recovery," the restaurant said.
soooooooooooooo........... No tip? ![[giveup]](//storage.proboards.com/7182076/images/FSYefibmKqtatIXMgHZg.gif)
Eau Claire hospitality group raises minimum wage to $16, eliminates tipping
Associated Press 1 day ago
EAU CLAIRE, Wis. (AP) - Owners of a group of restaurants, hotels and bars in Eau Claire have eliminated tipping and have raised their minimum wage to $16 an hour. The Pablo Group says it’s following a trend that aims to improve pay equity for all employees.

According to the U.S. Department of Labor, Wisconsin’s hourly wage for tipped workers is $2.33. Pablo Group owns six bars, hotels and coffee shops in downtown Eau Claire.
The owners say its pricing will be adjusted to accommodate the higher wages. Pablo Group hospitality director Rita Dorsey the change follows a trend already happening in Madison and in Minneapolis.

Prediction: The quality of service will go down as skilled waitstaff leaves in droves when they see less money in their pockets.

1. The waitress was stupid to chase them 2. Your prediction really depends on how much they were being tipped previously and if the wait staff was actually declaring that amount on their taxes as they were supposed to. Also your story leaves out that Pablo Group is also tossing in health care benefits and 401k plans for all employees working more than 20 hours a week. Most other companies don't offer benefits to anyone working less than 32 to 35 hours per week. $13.67/hour is a big salary bump but benefits are bigger, and building employee loyalty is good for business. One last thing: tipping may no longer be required, but they are still accepted.  |

1. I prefer the term, "stupid shaming."
2. It's the law. You want people to follow the law and pay their fair share of taxes just like you, don't you?

You never heard the snarky remarks from this Mayor? She's a real pill
Travel Portland buys huge NYT ad to lure visitors to city plagued by unrest
By Jackie Salo June 22, 2021
Tourism officials in Portland took out a full-page ad in the New York Times to urge visitors to come to the northwest destination despite the continued unrest — insisting that they have “faith in the future” of the besieged city.
Tourism nonprofit Travel Portland appeared to cryptically reference the violent and ongoing protests that have garnered national media attention.
“You’ve heard a lot about us lately. It’s been a while since you’ve heard from us,” the advertisement read.
“Some of what you’ve heard about Portland is true. Some is not. What’s most important is that we’re true to ourselves.”
The ad appears to reference clashes in the city during a full year of riots, which were prompted by the murder of George Floyd in Minneapolis last May.
Full page ad in the New York Times by 'Travel Portland"Travel Portland ran a full-page ad in the New York Times.travel portland
“We’re a place of dualities that are never polarities. Two sides of the same coin that keeps landing right on its edge. Anything can happen. We like it this way,” the group wrote.
“This is the kind of place where new ideas are welcome — whether they’re creative, cutting-edge or curious at first glance. You can speak up here. You could be yourself here,” they continued.
The ad acknowleged that the city is home to the “loudest voices on the West Coast,” adding that “passion pushes the volume all the way up.”
“We’ve always been like this. We wouldn’t have it any other way,” tourism officials said.
“We have faith in the future. We’re building it every day the only way we know how, by being Portland. Come see for yourself.”
Julio Rosas, who is a senior writer for news site Townhall, said on Tuesday said it was “unfortunate” that tourism officials need to beg visitors to come.
“There’s a reason why I only go to Portland for work and not for any vacation,” he told Fox News.

I guess she didn't make those remarks after all..........and there's been no violence or bloodshed either. ![[rolleye1]](//storage.proboards.com/7182076/images/MTjbungPBOzv0BKQvdPJ.gif)
Here's some National Review to put a cherry on top for ya.......
Rioting has become part of the fabric of urban life in Portland, where demonstrators have battled with cops nearly every other night since the death of George Floyd.
The city’s leadership has been hapless, at best, in dealing with the chaos, and loud voices have been condemning the cops.
After an officer in the unit was charged with a crime for striking a photographer in the head with a baton after he had pushed her to the ground, the members considered it a last straw.
Portland City Commissioner Jo Ann Hardesty kicked them on the way out the door, calling the resignations “yet another example of a rogue paramilitary organization that is unaccountable to the elected officials and residents of Portland.” She didn’t want them to quit but instead to stay on the job so they could be fired.
Either way, she thinks it’s a great opportunity to show what “deescalation in policing looks like” — effectively blaming the police for black-clad thugs constantly trying to burn things down. The same argument was made about federal officers during the Trump administration, but, lo and behold, the disorder continued even after federal forces stepped back and even after Joe Biden was elected president.
The head of the Portland police union issued a stinging statement in reply to Hardesty, saying that members of the unit “did not volunteer to have Molotov cocktails, fireworks, explosives, rocks, bottles, urine, feces, and other dangerous objects thrown at them.” Nor, he continued, did they volunteer “to be subject to warrantless criticism and false allegations by elected officials, or to suffer through baseless complaints and lengthy investigations devoid of due process.”

I don't know what she's said nor do I really care.
What I do know is the the far-right media engages in journalism sort of the same way that you engage in debate: by misrepresenting what is said and then changing the topic.
We were talking about dining-dashers and tipping and now you're blathering on about violence in Portland or something? |
