Reply to comment by C-C-Top in Shyndigz on W Cary not paying out tips. by itzaxumzn

If this is true its illegal. If you take away tips how do you plan on making employers pay more? Waiting tables is one of the few jobs left that can afford unskilled workers a good income.

they would get a better income if restaurants weren't allowed to pay them below minimum wage on the off chance a customer feels like picking up the restaurant's slack.

I always made bank waiting tables when I was making below minumum wages, but when I was cooking running the kitchen, responsible for all the ordering and scheduling I still didnt make nearly what I made waiting tables.

If I ever lose my job (I don’t have an education right now but hope to change that) and I still don’t have training you bet your ass the first thing I’m gonna do is try to go back to serving/bartending

Only reason I don’t go back honestly is insurance, and I started getting really bad pain in my feet from all the years of buying the cheapest Walmart work shoes catching up with me. Doubles started hurting pretty badly in my late 20s.

Was there a reason you continued to work for this restaurant? You may not be a policy maker but you could make the decision to work some where else or a different line of work.

Assuming that servers are “unskilled workers” is bullshit.
