Trump made a similar promise at his own rally in the city in June — though neither he nor Harris are likely to be able to fully do that without actions from Congress.

    You call that a living wage? In Washington the minimum is $16.28 statewide, including tipped labor, and it’s $19.97 in Seattle.

    What’s wild to me is that the cost of a meal is the same as in places like Pennsylvania where a waiter can be paid as little as $2.83/hr.

    Almost like the cost is set by the market, and the owners will cut wages as low as they’re allowed to simply to take more for themselves.

      No. Good for them having servers paid more than the $2 and change national minimum wage.
