quote:The above does not appear in the article, but yes I did read the article. The waitress said she was earning $7.00 and hour and I believe her. Wait staff are more often paid less than minimum wage. The new law mandates that she be paid $15.00 and hour and she lost a lot of perks. What article did you read?
In WA it is ILLEGAL to pay anyone less than minimum wage, including positions that are known to receive tips as a part of their compensation.
Edited to add:
Yes, I saw what you wrote and I do not believe you. For now I will take the waitress at her word.

Washington is one of 7 states who do not allow lower wages for tipped workers. I went to the trouble of googling it for you. Crazy how I'm right about the state I grew up in and currently live in.
La Place Mike is everything that's wrong with this board. He doesn't actually read what is being written. Just clings on to some arbitrary point and argues it not only for the sake or arguing, but also without any intimate background knowledge of the subject matter.

You're getting owned in this thread. I live in Washington state as well and he's right.

It's funny that you don't believe hard data but choose to believe some random waitress with an enormous bias. Of course she wants you to believe she's some poor underpaid $7 a hour employee. And of course your dumb arse believes her.
Here's another link:
MinimumWage.org
quote:
Including tips and cash wages, all tipped employees must still earn at least the Washington Minimum Wage of $9.32 per hour.
It doesn't say only full time workers. It doesn't say some workers that meet certain requirements. It says ALL tipped employees must earn $9.32 an hour. But hey- you believe what you want to believe why other posters shite logic turds all over you.
