they pretend like $14 an hour, the max they claim they pay, is good for a server
In Illinois the server minimum wage is $4.95 an hour. If you have just two tables in 1 hour and both of them have small bills of $25 and tip 20% ($5 a table)...you just made $14.95 an hour.
The meltdown on this particular episode was a $10 tip that the restaurant kept...
It is a despicable practice.
If they don't want their servers making tips then whatever...but advertise that the business absolutely takes no tips whatsoever. A tip free environment.
