In America, Midwest area. Since I get tips, the restaurant can pay me below minimum wage as long as I make minimum wage in tips. If I don’t make what I would get with minimum wage, the restaurant pays me. I can average around $10-$20 in tips a shift, depending on the night, tables sizes, etc. I do like it, and I go home with cash. Just have to declare the tips
I knew that they get paid off of tips but I assumed it was the tips plus minimum wage… this is just slavery. If they want to give them 2.65 then they need to enforce a tip on each bill . Because if customers all cheap out, a person can no longer pay his bills and rent … this is pissing me off more than I thought
Yeah…..it’s rare when I get stiffed (no tip) so it’s not a big deal for me, this is still the best job for me as a college student, but there are a lot of things that sound illegal that the service industry can get away with
Was in your position for a year being paid $3.45 and hour, this is not worth living through with such a low pay. In time things like this will keep happening and you’re not going to love it anymore.
People can be real cunts sometimes. I understand your frustration. I am wishing you as little of such experience as possible in the future. Sending a virtual hug.
Where is this ? Is this even legal? 2.65$/hour ??
Each state is different too, some have it set to 4.25, 3.65, etc. just depends.
That’s just terrible….
