More (liberal) government intervention to fix something that doesn't need fixing—and create a problem where there wasn't one before—in pursuit of some misguided ideal. What nonsense.

S. B. No. 39 will not only bring down the Connecticut service industry but will cost people their jobs. This type of legislation will force establishments to seek service charges that will most likely be used to cover the increase in wages instead of the fair distribution between employees; Leading people in the service industry to experience lower wages. The increase in overhead will also lead to the curtailment of support jobs like bussing and bar backing. Costing people jobs and shrinking the novice service industry market; that so many college kids like myself rely on for some sort of income. S. B. No. 39 states “the commissioner” may modify the minimum wage for “learners and apprentices…. to prevent the curtailment of employment opportunities.” This bill will crush the “learners and apprentices” employment opportunities. S.B. No. 39 does not improve the financial standing of individuals who receive gratuities but rather cripples their and income and creates a larger hole in the novice service industry market.

We are in the business of sales. Have every car dealer make a flat rate. We enjoy selling food and making it an experience. Do not take away our gratuity.

We are fortunate to have outstanding restaurants in Connecticut with professional staff who take time to know their craft and to learn the menus, wine lists, and customers preferences, and match them for memorable dining experiences. They deserve their tips and restaurants should be afforded the flexibility to ensure that their most valued employees receive fair compensation. The tip credit would be another piece of uninformed legislation in a state that seems intent on self-destruction.

If this bill is passed it will cut my income in half! I have over forty years of knowledge and experience that I bring to the table everyday. I deserve to be tipped for what I do. That's the way to insure great service not dilute it by paying people with far less experience and knowledge the same! It insulting and ludicrous for you to think otherwise! Do not pass this bill!

The passing of this bill will ensure that a industry that has employed many hard working people can no longer earn a living wage doing their jobs. In addition it would be near impossible for small businesses within CT to flourish and ensure their demise.
