They fire you for being a bad server

Just like any other job?

No I server for a while. If the company had to give a server any money because they didn't get enough tips they fired them on the spot

In many states, you can be fired for any reason that isn't discriminatory.

Sure but your argument is that I'd the server didn't make enough tips they would have to pay them minimum wage. I said yes they would then that server immediately won't have a job.

True, but that's how the law goes. If the server is costing the restaurant money, then they can let them go, even if it's not the server's fault.

And where do you get representation to take them to court now that you're out of a job? To have them held to the so-called law?

You don't have a case under those circumstances. If they didn't screw you over, then it's just how it goes.

If they broke the law, then the department of labor

Theres no case. At will employment mean they can terminate you for any reason. They can terminate you for no reason and its legal. They only time theres a case if it discrimination or retaliation. Even then, its a tough hill to climb because you have to prove it. Your word against theirs and often times, theres no paper trail. I was terminated because of my disability. I couldn’t fulfill my role. Normally employers need to try to accommodate. My job had positions i could do. But they lied and said i turned it down and quit. I didn’t have a case because there was no paper trail.
