    It’s shit, when I worked as a waiter I commonly earned less than minimum wage in my state (like $7.50/hr)

      I believe it, some places you drive by and the parking lot is near empty and you know those people aren’t getting paid squat.

      I think the place is required to make sure you make the equivalent of minimum wage for the hours you work, but I’ve read many stories about shady owners screwing with people’s post regardless of what the law says.

      Plus you shouldn’t get paid based off if you get polite or shit customers anyway, that just seems like a rigged system. Only in America! *Insert eye roll
