My daughter works for a restaurant where they pay the staff minimum wage, but they don't get tips. The restaurant keeps them.

and of course, that's not posted anywhere. So you tip, but don't know that it doesn't go to the staff (directly).

so, she gets paid better hourly, but no tips.

It's one thing if you pay them better, but not telling the customers that they don't need to tip is shitty, imo.

- although, does she have friends who work at other places? would be interesting to compare take home pay at a couple places for comparison... -- nm - Beaker Oct 30, 14:51 1
  - she works part time and only works about 10-15 hours per week. - Bloody jAxeSean Oct 30, 14:55
that almost sounds like it should be illegal. -- nm - groiny Oct 30, 14:47 2
- Looking it up, Florida has a tip credit system that allows restaurants to do this -- (link) - Roger More Oct 30, 14:51 1
  - It looks like any tips over the tip credit amount needed by the employer to pay minimum wage should belong to the employee -- nm - Roger More Oct 30, 14:56
yeah, that's extremely shady -- nm - prayformojo Oct 30, 14:47
