I don't want to eat in a Restaurant that pays the Wait staff $2.13 per hr (http://www.democraticunderground.com/10024270796)
I need a list of the Cheap Ass Bastards (Restaurant Chains) who only pay the Wait Staff $2.13 per hour because I don't want to patronize any of them
I became enraged when I read this and I REFUSE to spend my money in any establishment that does that to fellow human beings
Even more shocking is the so-called tipped minimum wage (for workers who rely on tips), which has been frozen at $2.13 since 1991.
Guess you won't be eating at any restaurant soon.

It's either that or eat what mom's cooking. Up to you :loser:

If we doubled the wage rate, you'd be paying $15 for a crappy burger at Applebee's rather than $7.50.
Think about it.

It's called leaving a tip. Look it up, DUmmy.

Wonder how much he tips his mom?

Being a DUmmy he is probably like willie pitt and slips her the tip...

Guess what the DUmmies don't realize is that if the server doesn't make enough in tips to make minimum wage, the employer is supposed to make up the difference. And unless you're in a totally crappy restaurant or a godawful employee, that almost NEVER happens.
Oh well, nice try, but you lose again.

Where did he get his numbers?
U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) determined the average annual salary of waitresses in 2009 to be $20,380, it cautions evaluators that these figures are salary payments only. The majority of waitresses see the most of their earnings in tips, which result from a portion of their food and beverage checks and are not part of the minimum wage calculations.
From what I know about waitressing, I got an hourly wage plus tips. My shifts were usually 6 hours, five days a week.
I was also given a section consisting of anywhere from five to six tables. Sometimes more on a slow night. If your good at what you do and turn your tables over quickly you can make a lot of money in tips.
Of course it all depends on how good/popular the restaurant is.

They'd really lose their minds when they discover how commission works.

When I first joined the military I was paid a little less than $500.00 a month.
I seem to remember running the numbers based on 24/7/365 of about $.98/hour
Now would the lib patronize the military that paid less than $1.00/hour ?

NO. The DUmmy doesn't want to spend his money. He want to spend yours.
