This is a "feel good" bullshit story that doesn't jibe with reality.

Suddenly his shitty employees became the best and most loyal in the world?

Bullshit. People in the bar and restaurant service industry (not fast food bullshit, but REAL service at a REAL restaurant) can make a ton of money with tips. Way more than his small pay raise.

I've been married to a girl who was a bartender. Back in 1982 she was making an average of $500 a day...in CASH (no taxes on that). And that $500 in 1982 is worth over $1,450 in 2015 value of the dollar.

My ex-wife would have been PISSED if they had given her some tiny ass "raise" and took away her tip money.

This bullshit story isn't based in the reality of the world.
