The food service industry in America is about as corrupt as it gets, They don't pay a fair wage, they rely on extortion tactics (tipping) to float the cost of wages to the customer and the customer must pay for his meal and half the staffs wages as well or be labeled a bad person or in the customers mind, maybe even face a retaliation of some sort by the staff, i.e spitting in food, added to a blacklist etc. and they are actively fighting any attempts at unionization to boot.

I've seen a lot of ways they screw this up, but perhaps the most common is by using the tipped employee minimum hourly wage (usually at least $3 less than minimum wage, and often as little as $2/hour) as the base rate for OT/DT premiums. This can end up shorting tipped employees as much as $12/hour on OT and $16/hour on DT. Alerting businesses to this fact is usually met with fingers in ears/closing eyes/singing type reactions.
