Commenting on "Diners' wallets feel sting of price hikes"
http://www.heraldsun.com.au/news/more-news/diners-wallet-feel-sting/story-fn7x8me2-1226128846243
Those who don't want to work weekends or public holidays for normal pay, they are free to stay at home. There are many who want to work to earn extra to pay the mortgage or save up for rainy days
It is absurd from the start to introduce penalty pay, no matter what the industry is. Andy H, only if you become an employer, you will realise what you said is nonsensical. If bosses don't make money, they might as well pack up and put their money in the bank; they don't need the headache in employing staff, and risk making a loss every time a customer is served.
Just be rational for a moment - would anyone want to pay 1-1/2 to 2-1/2 times for train, tram, bus or plane tickets, takeaway or restaurant meals, taxi fares, utility usages, supermarket items, consumer items, entertainment, on weekends or public holidays. If the answer is no, then why should the workers pay at high rates?
