My experience with the waiter and his wages scenario.
M&B coffee was R7.50 per bottomless cup, tip if waiter filled you promptly R2.50.
Enter the new law, coffee went up to R9.50 to compensate the waiters wages, 50c tip, waiter probably in the same financial position as before.
Coffee now R12.50 to compensate for annual waiters increase and to refurbish the owners coffers, no tip! because 2 coffees R15.00 and I need the R5.00 for the parking fee.
Oh and the cups have gotten smaller so need to be refilled more often, more work for the waiters.
As a small business SMME if they want me to hire!! they must let me fire!! without all the crap from dept labour and unions.
Otherwise I outsource, automate, import or subcontract.
