Most outrageous thing to me as an non-American is, how his boss is allowed to pay him $3 an hour for doing the job.
Then there's that umm... little healthcare insurance matter.
If they are not American, there's no way they'll ever be able to comprehend THAT.
Well...it's not that hard to understand.
You'll be with the Lord so that's OK.
(is the attitude)
It's the greater of $2.13/hr + tips OR minimum wage per hour. So if you filled in for 1 slow hour at a dinor, sold a cup of coffee and only pulled $1.87 in as a tip you aren't getting paid $4 ($2.13 + $1.87). You get at least minimum wage.
Minimum wage varies by state (or City) from $7.25 to $21.65 per hour.
Typically, the City's with high minimum wages also stipulate it to be the minimum rate before tips.
No. It’s over a pay period and you will not get scheduled if you go this route as a server.
And you expect the boss to actually make up the difference. There's a reason wage theft is so common in the US.
Those cities also tend to be governed by mostly Democrats while the ones under the thumb of the GOP are very happy watching people try to survive on $7.25
Fascinating. Do people also write down the amount of tips received each hour? To make sure the boss pays for the slow hour, and it doesn't end up coming out of your own pocket anyways, from the other more busy hour? I can't believe Americans are doing that amount of maths?
When I was a pizza delivery boy, I just did the cashing-up once a day. The cash register would know how much of the money in my pocket was owed to the boss, and I got to keep the change. Only time maths was involved was when the delivery cars broke down (which they did all the time) and I had to use my own car and the boss had to compensate me for using my own car.
It's average over whole shift, not hour-by-hour.
A whole pay period not shift.
Guess they're mostly not paying up, then. That's just deducting the difference from the rest of the tip jar until there's nothing left from a given day. And only then are they forced to chip in?!
