A victory for Waffle House workers, but their pay is still abysmal. One employee in Georgia said she would receive a raise of $3 per hour or more. After working 30 years with the company, she currently earns $2.92 per hour before tips. https://www.huffpost.com/entry/waffle-house-is-raising-servers-pay_n_666359c9e4b0bf0f8165771b

#Algorithms are generally bad, esp. for workers, but good for corporations:

Variable pricing (surge pricing) has a much more insidious effect on workers than on consumers. When a worker is selling their labor… it's about their ability to survive.
