[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Folks, here's the list of jobs that would be affected by this. All these jobs are making the minimum "tipped wage" of $3.33/hour because they also get tips.

While all the focus has been on restaurant workers, these other job categories get nowhere near close to actual minimum wage based on tips. And in many cases their employers refuse to pay them the differential, as required by law.

It's absolutely insane to me that nail salon workers are making just over $3/hour. Absolutely ridiculous.

List of jobs that would increase to $15/hour with an 8 year phase-in period by voting Yes on 77:
-Front of house restaurant employees (servers, hosts, etc)
-Back of house restaurant employees (dishwashers, food prep, janitorial)
-Car washers
-Nail salon workers
-Parking attendants
-Valets at the hotel
-Landscapers
-Housecleaners
-Hair stylists
-Massage therapists
-Baristas
-...basically anyone who may get a tip.

The list is bonkers of individuals in the service industry who get these artificially low wages, simply because they may (or may not!) get a tip.[/quote]

Yes, this is what swayed me to change my no vote to a yes. [/quote]
