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.
