Reply to 🚨Thai Food Emergency🚨 Best drunken noodles in Providence? by TheGhostOfJaySherman

Thai modem eatery on Atwells has great food I’d be surprised if they couldn’t make that very well. They’re the only place I’ve found more authentic stuff

Everyone is saying Apsara but I know that’s a Cambodian restaurant so you’re going to be getting Cambodian versions of Thai food which my Thai family says won’t be the same. 🤷🏻‍♂️ I haven’t been but I only hear good things however

The debate on wages effecting prices has been happening for a long time. The federal minimum wage hasn’t increased from $7.25/hr I’m decades. There are lots of studies and data. I’ve selected A study from Perdue showed that raising prices from minimum wage to $15 would only increase prices 4.3% that means your example of paying $13 for a meal instead of $10 would in reality cost the customer $0.43 not $3 and to raise wages to $22/hr it would increase prices 25% that would be $2.50 vs your example of $3. The fact is asking customers for a %15 tip for limited service instead of owners charging something like 4.3% for a real wage is providing cover for bad business owners to pay poorly and to ask customers to cover the cost of their wages while they stuff their pockets. It’s unconscionable to defend the rampant tipping that goes on. I’m sick of hidden costs and surprise tips for tbh fa that aren’t too based work

If they don’t provide table service they shouldn’t be asking for tip their employer should be paying fair wages. That said I’m a sucker and end up wasting 15% just picking up items at a counter with no interaction
