My daughter is a server at local fine dining restaurant. They have made changes since the new minimum wage law came into effect. They have cut shifts, laid off a hostess, raised prices and now have a policy that adds 20% tip on parties over 6.
Good luck for your daughter and her restaurant.
Looks like tough times ahead.
When I was a waiter the pay which was $2.10 an hour witch barely paid the taxes. All my income was tips.
With a pay of $1.70 and if they have to report most of there tips, I bet many had negative pay checks.
The cost per week if you work 40 hours is $68. V $153.
This is not a major cost to the employer. The wait staff has always been looked at a free labor.
I do think there should be no minimum wage for any one over 21 years old.
The minimum wage puts Spongebob out of a job.
