Waitress, a coffee and a salary raise please!


Good news for waitresses and bartenders in the UK, since bars and restaurants can no longer use tips as a tool to boost pay to the basic minimum. Trying to promote clarity and fairness, the government decided that the minimum wages in the hospitality sector should increase and that tips can only be used as bonuses for the staff. Despite the overall grateful responses and the welcoming union Unite, not everyone is pleased with the changes the government is pursuing. The British Hospitality Association fears that this switch will have the opposite effect and will lead to at least 5000 job losses, caused by the rising costs.
