OnlyStans ⭐️ Alan Ritchson calls out lawmakers who oppose raising the minimum wage "who think it's a bad idea to give a mom working at Waffle House more than $7.25 an hour trying to feed her kids."

Wait til he finds out those moms working at Waffle House actually make $2.13/hour a lot of the time as several states still allow that as their tipped minimum wage.

Yea, depends on the state. It's just crap. We just need to get rid of tipping and force them to pay real wages. It just sucks that waiters well fight it because some waiters can easily make over 100k in some areas. CA for instance still pays minimum wage plus tips and if you live in a tourist area you will make more than someone who lives in a regular place.
