We the people respectfully request that darden's policy of taking servers tips in order to lower the wages of bussers and bartenders be immediately rescinded  and that these employees wages, sometimes taking years of loyal service to acquire be returned to there rightful and just rates. We support h.r. bill 631 which raises minimum wage for tipped employees from 2.13 to 3.75 per hour. Thank you  for reading this order of petition.

The feedback I have received from service industry workers across the country highlights the pervasive nature of this wage policy. I am currently documenting these personal accounts to prepare a formal submission for the representatives sponsoring the bill.

The momentum behind this initiative continues to grow at an encouraging rate. This level of support reinforces the urgent need to address fair wage practices for all service staff.

Worked there for 3 years and it sucked. Servers work way too hard for management to pull this stuff.

I will stop eating at their restaurants until this changes. This is corporate greed at its finest.

Ridiculous that they think taking tips from servers is okay. Darden needs to pay their own staff instead of stealing from the hard workers.

2.13 an hour is poverty wages. do better Darden.
