LETTER: Restaurants make diners tip twice

From Ms E. M. Hale

Sir: I admire the honesty of Hermione Ainley (letters, 24 November) in admitting that her restaurant pays only a pittance to her part-time student workers. I am puzzled that she appears to be proud of this fact.

A living wage for all her staff would give them the dignity they deserve, and provide a more equitable share.

Yours sincerely,

E. M. Hale
