"Last month, workers at the Delray Beach, Florida location of Hampton Social protested outside the restaurant on Thursday, October 24, complaining about a new plan that seems to discourage tipping in favor of a new 20 percent customer surcharge. They say the plan would cut wages for front-of-house workers. Workers were holding signs with phrases including “#ParkerHospitalityGreed.” According to the Orlando Sentinel, workers were told on Monday, October 21 that their minimum wages would be cut by $2 and that 2 percent of the 20 percent gratuity would go to management, with the remaining 18 percent going to servers, busers, and other front-of-house staff. The restaurant told workers the proposal is based on a federal law that exempts some workers from overtime pay." - Ashok Selvam
