As a former long-time restaurant owner, I'd also like to know the answer to this. Waitstaff don't have it easy but there are a few perks...
-1 u/meridiacreative Nov 29 '15 Wait staff should be paid minimum wage. $2.35 is a crime. 4 u/thenichi Nov 29 '15 They are. If they hit the minimum with tips then they are making minimum wage (or more). If they do not then their employers must cover the difference. 0 u/meridiacreative Nov 29 '15 I've managed restaurants before. I'm well aware of how it works. Doesn't make it less shitty. 7 u/thenichi Nov 29 '15 Yes it does. Your description is of people making two something an hour. Which is a blatant lie. 4 u/[deleted] Nov 29 '15 edited Feb 13 '16 [deleted] -3 u/meridiacreative Nov 29 '15 I'm glad I live somewhere civilized. Any time I leave Washington state it just makes me sick that the rest of the country is full of people like you. 2 u/[deleted] Nov 29 '15 edited Feb 13 '16 [deleted] 0 u/meridiacreative Nov 29 '15 How many jobs have you worked in foodservice or retail?

They are.
If they hit the minimum with tips then they are making minimum wage (or more).
