All of them?

That is the standard tipped minimum wage, and it doe snot go up with increases to the minimum wage.

At least it was when I was a waiter a while back at Semolina’s restaurant.

Furthermore, Semolina’s required their wait staff to stay on the clock between 2 and 5 pm, when the restaurant was closed, in order to portion pasta for the dinner crew.

They were paid 2.13 an hour to do this labor while they received not a single tip, because the restaurant was closed.

No, I asked if they got paid more than that entirely....meaning after tips.

Their real pay is not just the 2-3 bucks.

I can’t imagine any waiter not making at least $8 bucks an hour after tips.
