I find it funny that wait people bitch about their wage but don’t claim all their tips for taxes went walking out with $100 after a 6 hour shift.

Uh, you own a restaurant or something? The minimum wage for tipped servers in my state is $2.83 an hour.

That’s the same kind thinking that the GOP candidate for governor in Minnesota had, where he claimed waiters were making $100,000 dollars a year in tips.

The owner of the Eagle Street Grill told a Star Tribune columnist on Tuesday that none of his servers make $100,000 a year. Republican gubernatorial candidate Tom Emmer used an example of Eagle Street servers making that kind of money as a reason to institute a “tip credit” in Minnesota, which would lower servers’ minimum wage pay.
