    John Horne, who owns Anna Maria's Oyster Bars, a small group of restaurants in the Bradenton area, said that his waitstaff already makes close to $30 per hour through a combination of wage and tip credits.

    "I mean, obviously getting the money to people is helping us, but this minimum wage [hike] is absolutely going to destroy the hospitality industry in Florida and across the nation," Horne told host Martha MacCallum.

    "They are trying to paint with a broad brush the entire nation," he added. "They are trying to say what's good in Alexandria, Va. is good in Alexandria, Tenn. We can't do that."


    Horne added that if the minimum wage increase becomes law, and "if we raise everyone to $15 and we don't take into consideration tip credits, then we are going to basically give everybody a pay cut of 50% ... because they will go from $30 an hour to $15 an hour."

    Using one of his locations as an example, Horne predicted a $15 minimum wage on top of tip credits would increase hist annual payroll by $500,000 or 17% of his annual sales, revenue he doesn't have to spare.

    "I will have to raise prices. That will drive our seniors in Florida away," he explained. "They are not getting the raises. My dad's Social Security went up 1.9%. He got a $34 a month raise this year. That's not going to help."

    In addition, Horne said, Biden is also not taking into account high school students working part-time or starting their first job.

    "If we don't take into consideration teen wages, training wages, and tipped credit, we're just going to shoot ourselves in the foot. So we need to take our time with this," he said. "I'm already paying my kitchen staff over $15 an hour now because that's what my market bears. So it's already taking care of itself." https://www.foxnews.com/us/florida-r...ality-industry

    And the passenger transportation industries. Cruise ships are laid up. Airlines are in trouble.

    And for what?

    I don't think so. Anyway, I've been assured that any 12b comments directed at me are ignored.

    Yes I remember the rumours. Can't help thinking Snarla might have known Susan Rosenberg and other lefty loonies.

    The Trump virus ruined the hospitality industry. Paying fair wages won't hurt them. Everybody will make more and they will have more customers. Wages are 42 percent of operating costs. They will charge more.

    Can't help thinking that Queen Darla's successor has been afforded the same "privilege" by the imbecile, with all that entails.

    I'm pretty sure that the Chinese disease came from Red China, and I seem to recall it was governors and mayors who shut down the hospitality industry.

    Is that so?

    You really are an ignorant peasant, it's plain that you've never run a business.
