I was talking to my neighbor last night who is a waitress. How exactly does business get around the minimum wage law with waitresses? My neighbor is in her late 50s and runs her ass off for Pizza Hut for the past eight years... her wage? $2.52/hour.
Anyone care to educate me on the loophole for waitresses/waiters?

If the average tip income is high enough, then the lower wage is justified. Especially since cash tips are not taxable income. I could not possibly be a waiter - it would simply drive me insane. However, I have plenty of friends waiting tables, most of them with a wage of something like $4.00/hr. But with their tips, they are truly making bank! As long as you don't live in a rural, po-dunk town, tips are not to be scoffed at!lilcountriegal said:Which leads me to a question...
