Her check was that low because she received so much in tips.
For those who haven't had to go through this: in professions where tipping is customary, employers can take that into account for your wage and they must pay you an amount which, with your tips, ensures you make at least the minimum wage.
I'm heavily against this practice, but it's just the way it is. If we, somehow, eliminate tipping then it would push the bill in most restaurants at least $7-10 to compensate. It's just an artificial way of keeping prices low that most restaurants can't do without now because it's literally built into their business models.

Figures it’s a fucking Mexican. What she isn’t telling you is that restaurants will fire you if you cannot bring in at least the equivalent of minimum wage in tips, because restaurants must pay the difference if they don’t by law.
Plus I don’t like tipping for poor service. As much as I don’t like being responsible for someone’s salary, I tip because it’s the system we have. More often than not, I tip below 10% or nothing because the service is sooo bad. Especially being waited on by a nigger or spic. Niggers especially think they deserve a tip for doing shit.

to get a check that low requires you to have earned a lot in tips

That may be so, but that leaves a bad taste in my mouth. I guess I can't get used to the gig economy.

Thats not gig economy.
People who work the gig economy still get paid a reasonable wage.
Restaurants underpay staff ijln the US because its custom to force a customer to pay wait staffs wage which is ASS BACKWARDS.l and none of ypu cunts do anything about it.

she also pocketed half the cash before turning it in for tips report.
servers make a ton of money for what they do. in NYC most servers make far more than the restaurant managers.
if someone thinks they are worth more than the decent wages earned being a server or waitress they should get a different job.

ITS NOT MY JOB AS A FUCKING CUSTOMER TO PAY YOUR FUCKING WAGE GET A REAL JOB DUMBASS.
Fuck me the self entitlement of ultimately unemployable americans is fucking unbelieveable.

You tip for service that's how it is. You dont want to tip. Go to fast food.
You dont want to tip that's fine. At least let the server know so they can spend more time with other guests that do tip.

Are you degenerates, reprobates and sundry loafers aware that agricultural workers also operate under a different set of standards? The elite-owned tyrannical media never mentions this shit because it makes the beloved monolithic corporations look bad. When I worked with the migrant laborers we had to work in excess of 60 hours in a 7 day period before overtime kicked in. Then there is the "piece work" scam where the pay is based upon the amount of product picked. GI Bill paid shit in my day so vets had to supplement GI Bill income with at least part-time work just to barely eke by. I was so desperate for wealth that I would go pick boysenberries. Back in the early 1980s and memory says we got $2 per flat picked. The little kids... 8-year to early teens... out-picked everybody. Lots of older migrants, also. Not strenuous work in comparison to other crop jobs. Migrants in their prime were doing the higher-paid more laborious jobs. Gringos not welcomed at those. We were relegated to the lowest paying positions. No problemo. Those folks relied upon those jobs for subsistence along with hand-outs from taxpayers and even then they did not live high on the hog. That was hot-assed work requiring lots of bending over. Little kids had the advantage of being mostly eye-level with the quarry.
Ate a lot of ramen back then. On good days excess wealth allowed the purchase of a pack of chicken hot dogs. Cut into pieces and toss into the ramen. Fuck yeah. Then ride the damn 10-speed the 9-miles to the college. No excess lard on the frame back then.

She was dumb enough to agree to that. I used to be against minimum wage but it didn't occur to me that people would agree to a life of serfdom.

And she uses her situation to justify all-out tipping.

Well, finally I figured out the difference between a text post and a link post. I've been seeing all these posts with links of origin in the titles, and was going nuts trying to figure out how to do that. :punchballs:
