‘Pinchers Express’
On National Waiters’ Day (May 21) Unite hospitality members held a protest outside Pizza Express’ flagship restaurant in Charing Cross Road, Leicester Square.
Six years ago Unite’s fair tips campaign lifted the lid on restaurants misusing tips to top up poverty wages.
The law was changed but that hasn’t stopped some restaurants still profiting from customers tips. When you leave a credit card tip Pizza Express deducts a 8 per cent ‘admin charge’. That 8 per cent goes into the company coffers and not to the staff who it was intended for.
Unite hospitality workers would appreciate any support you can give – if you eat at Pizza Express leave the tip in cash and tell the manager why – you want the tip to go to the waiting staff for good service.
View the protest below, then share.
