Proposal arguments response

I chose to respond to the Stone's End no tips policy argument. The problem that Wilson addresses is that the hosts for Stone's End restaurant do not receive tips. Wilson addresses that tis is not fair for the amount of work they do, and how that the lower income they receive can make the unhappy, which is detrimental to the overall success of the restaurant.

Wilson addresses this proposal to the CEO of Stone's End restaurant. Wilson does this by using sophisticated vocabulary, and correct grammar. It is a very well written paper. Wilson also addresses the "numbers" surrounding this argument. Wilson discusses the pay of a host compared to a server who receives tips. Then he breaks down the tips into an average hourly wage to show the ratio of the two wages per hour. This is effective because it shows the CEO how much more the servers are being paid per hour. Wilson proposes that the servers tip their hosts 1% to 2% of their tips, which on average would be one to two dollars. It would hardly "dent" the servers income, but it would greatly increase the hosts income. This was a well thought out proposal made the a CEO. The CEO would probably be more willing to make a change, if the servers were paying the hosts extra and not the company. The CEO probably wants to receive more money, and not pay employees more, but with this solution the CEO wouldn't have to loose any more money. Wilson also states that this would benefit the host, which in turn would benefit the company and it's overall success, which in the business world means overall profit. The CEO is interested in doing what's best for success, so I believe due to the effectiveness of Wilson's argument that the CEO would be more willing to change the policy.

Wilson did a great job on choosing the audience and what to highlight about this argument. His proposal would make the employees happier and give the company more profit, which is what a CEO should want for their business. This was a very effective proposal, and if I were the CEO, I would definitely accept it.
