Matt39 Posted May 10, 2011 Share Posted May 10, 2011 Pretty crappy if you ask me. NEW YORK (AP) — Waiters who serve the higher-priced seats at Yankee Stadium claim in a lawsuit that their tips are being withheld. The suit names Volume Services America, which ran food services in the old stadium, and Legends Hospitality, which runs them in the new stadium. It was filed in Manhattan federal court on Monday. It seeks unpaid wages and other damages. Menus in the seats' cup holders say "a 20 percent service charge will be added to the listed prices. Additional gratuity is at your discretion." The lawsuit says the workers did not receive any of the 20 percent service charges. A spokeswoman for the Yankees told the Daily News it hasn't seen the lawsuit but that all its employees are paid in strict accordance with their union contract.

Thor99 Posted May 10, 2011 Share Posted May 10, 2011 To be fair, food service is contracted out at stadiums. Most likely, the Yankees have nothing to do with this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PFSIKH Posted May 10, 2011 Share Posted May 10, 2011 To be fair, food service is contracted out at stadiums. Most likely, the Yankees have nothing to do with this. I agree. I have a hard time believing the Steinbrenner's are making those calls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maxman Posted May 11, 2011 Share Posted May 11, 2011 Whoever is to blame, this just sucks. You pay the crazy ticket prices and think the gratuity which is being forced your way is going to the people doing the work. Sad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barcs Posted May 11, 2011 Share Posted May 11, 2011 Yep. Such is the way of the world. They'll find 40 little ways to charge you extra for something and 90% of the time it doesn't go toward what it says. I mean just look at all the ridiculous taxes airlines charge. As if the money is going anywhere but directly to their profits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
