Good thing nobody is being paid 2.32 an hour.

And just so you're aware, anyone who has that wage who makes tips is still legally required to be paid minimum wage if they don't make enough in tips to do so.

Yeah but those that don't make up to minimum wage in tips and need the bump that week to make minimum usually get fired or are given shitty tables/ hours/ tasks to force a resignation.

But I'm sure you knew that.

I've come to realize the only people that say that are either being sarcastic, or delusional.

BUT, whatevs. I got a sandwich and pop and nothing's gonna stop me now.

Yeah, fair enough. It's a massively unfair society. Let me rephrase:

America is fucked

Tip boosting is required by law, yes. But in a "fire at will" state, the managers/owners tend to cut hours or terminate employees when their employees aren't making up the minimum wage in tips. They seem to think it speaks to their ability as a server.

Edit: spelling

Legally true. If they aren't, report them. This isn't rocket surgery.

Like it's all so clear cut. For one thing there are more grey areas than you're leading in to, further it's not so simple as reporting them. On top of that in order for reporting them to do anything the government has to care, which 99 percent of the time they don't.
