    “Govt: we believe that companies that employ people in our community should have to pay the established legal minimum wage.”

    …Unless they are waiters or waitresses.

      I’ll just do the rest of the thread, since it’s the same every time:

      They actually do have to pay minimum wage if you don’t make at least that in tips.

      Yeah, but if you try to get them to do it, they’ll fire you!

      Being unwilling to stick up for your rights is a different claim entirely

      Must be nice being privileged, asshole!

      Must suck being too cowardly to stick up for yourself!

      Waiters and waitresses still get paid minimum wage (not tipped minimum) if their tips and wages are less than minimum wage.

      Well, they’re supposed to at least.

        Supposed to is the important part there, wage theft is depressingly common.

          Definitely true, which is why I included that line.

          But, the truth is that if you’re not doing well enough as a server to hit minimum wage in tips, you’re probably going to get let go anyways. It’s stupid easy to get minimum wage in tips.
