[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Baristas do NOT make the tipped minimum wage. Stop spreading lies. [/quote] I've been asking servers around town for weeks. Dolcezza hires people below minimum wage. So: yes they do.[/quote] Yup, that's the crux of this issue. Tipped employees can make as little as $3.33/hour, but most make somewhere between $5-10/hour. This is still below the current minimum wage of $12.50/hour.[/quote] [b]But employers make up the difference![/b] Stop spreading more lies.[/quote] The legit employers make up the difference. But many, many businesses do not and then pressure their employees to not complain. It's an inherently unequal power dynamic. Furthermore, it's extremely difficult to ensure compliance unless you get a critical mass of current/former tipped employees complaining to the District. It puts all the pressure for getting paid properly on workers - wtf? Just give them all a living wage.[/quote]
