If people like Metz paid their workers a decent wage in the first place then Obamacare may not have been needed at all.

But talking about the staff at Denny's or any food-serving business is another cocoon.
The US has this tradition for food-servicing staff of $1/hr + tips, or some such formula.
For some, this leads to decent or even very high incomes; but for others
it's a last-ditch job to have any income at all, or for others it is something in between.
I hate bartering for goods or services (think: car salesmen and tipping waiters or waitresses
)
but in the US it is futile to try to find a way around this tradition.
It's this rigid tradition that keeps the Metz's of the food-service world in business.
