"We can't absorb that cost. That cost would then be implemented into the restaurant menu, and that's where your customers are absorbing that cost." ?? Help Michigan's hospitality industry save restaurants by telling your elected official to SUPPORT HB 6056 and preserve the tip credit ?? https://actnow.io/1fgzvcy

?????? While losing the tip credit would shutter 20% of Michigan restaurants and cost the industry over 40,000 jobs, polling from the MRLA indicates that nearly 80% of Michigan voters want the state legislature to intervene to save the tip credit. A newly proposed bill in the MI House of Representatives would do just that. Tell your representative to #SaveMIRestaurants and vote YES on House Bill 6056 ?? https://actnow.io/1FGZvcY

??NEW EPISODE ALERT ???The Weirdness is Profound ?? mrla.org/podcast Things are getting weird and we aren't just talking about the three month hiatus of What's with the Pineapple. ?? Justin and Emily kick things off celebrating National Slap Your Coworker Day (HR would like a word) and their Halloween costumes of choice. The pair dives into McDonald's unexpected political spotlight, Massachusetts giving Michigan a master class in common sense on tip credit, the cage-free egg law scrambling industry preparations for 2025, and Michigan hotels earning their Michelin Keys. ??????? ??????Congratulations are in order for a long list of plaudits covering every corner of the mitten. Breaking records (on the) left and right, political strategists Adrian Hemond and John Selleck make their three-peat appearance in the second half of the episode to break down Michigan's role as the ultimate battleground state. The powerhouse pair lay out the stakes for the presidential, senate, and congressional races while attempting to untangle Michigan's increasingly complex political web. As promised in the title, the weirdness gets profound: from tip credit to turnout, demographics to Doritos, and the very real possibility of a deadlocked legislature in 2025. This episode covers what the hospitality industry needs to know as Michigan heads into what could be its weirdest election yet.
