There are also the performers that do very well, compared to the vast swaths of starving artist types.
If there is a minimum wage, no field should have an exception for it; that includes the labor working at places that aren't having a busy night with expensive meals.
This is also about benefiting the customers; simple transparent pricing. No variable things added later. I also want /taxes/ to be included in the advertised price (at least on the local menus; national / widely targeted ads should include large text disclaimers)
- cglace 8y agoThey get paid minimum wage if their wage + tips do not equal minimum wage.
- mjevans 8y agoMy customer facing time was in a different industry, HOWEVER, that is not what I heard. The jist was that the /minimum/ wage was what the worker was required to take home, tips inclusive, and that if they couldn't clear that bar (the restaurant had to pay them more) they were retrained and/or otherwise moved around until they either could or quit on their own.
- cglace 8y agoSure, they may be fired or moved around. However it's the law that they must make at least minimum wage for the hours worked. https://webapps.dol.gov/elaws/faq/esa/flsa/002.htm https://webapps.dol.gov/elaws/faq/esa/flsa/002.htm
