Where in the world did you hear that?

- jedberg 10y agoThe federal minimum wage for a food server in the US is $2.13/hr. The employer only has to pay more if their tips don't average out to $7.25 an hour. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tipped_wage_in_the_United_States https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tipped_wage_in_the_United_St...
- hueving 10y agoRight, so even if they don't receive any tips they get paid minimum wage. It's a bit disingenuous to suggest they make less than minimum wage if they receive no tips.
