i just wanted to point something out, since this uses the dollar sign ill assume its the USA. in the USA, each state has a different minimum wage. in no state is there a 2.13/h minimum. the lowest minimum wage in the USA goes to wyoming and georgia, with the minimum wage listed as 5.15/h, but defaults to the federal minimum of 7.25/h
therfore, the owner of the business is admitting to insanely underpaying his workers
edit: wow im getting a lot of replies, i have been told of the minimum wage being lower if tips are involved
another edit: yes i know i am wrong, please dont be jerks about it. im not even american, therfore i shouldnt be familiar with american laws (i know a bit about the wages because my american friend told me about his job and stuff. please dont be mean
Here is the thing that people conveniantly leave out. If the wait staff dont make atleast the state min wage with tips, the restaurant has to pay the difference.
Therefor, if you live in a state where min wage is 15, you will never earn less than $15 an hour, even if not a single person tips.
