How Servers Really Feel About the "No Tax on Tips" Law | Bon Appétit
"At Neng Jr.'s in Asheville, North Carolina, I spoke with Quinton Soemardi, who says he likely won’t see big savings from the new tip-deduction; though he earns above the median wage, his 'big concern is the political manipulation—the framework around it.' He worries the deduction 'seems great at first glance' but in practice does little to address underlying wage issues for most servers, saying 'it just feels like they’re giving out little pieces of candy and not doing anything systemic to actually improve things for the majority of workers.'" - BySam Stone
