I am a server at a local restaurant in Texas and I work for $2.13/hr +tips. Yes that is right $2.13 an hour. When I lived in Texas in the early 90's and waitressed I made $2.13/hr. For some reason, and I am sure I could look it up on the internet, restaurant owners in the state of Texas do not have to pay more than that.
So hey I get tips right? Well on a good night that all works out and is worth it (as long as everyone I wait on is happy) but say I only make $30 on a slow night(and there are slow nights.) So for 6 hours I might actually make minimum wage.
BUT THIS IS NOT THE PROBLEM**************
Edited:I recently reread what I wrote about a situation that happened to me at the restaurant. I was upset when I wrote it and have decided to retract it. Luckily it never was posted.
But just a heads up***************
Please remember that you don't have to be mean to get your way.When you are at a restaurant even if you get bad service you do not have to be mean. You can voice your concerns to the server or a manager, or don't leave a tip (because believe me-leaving no tip at all screams to the server that you thought the service sucked) but please just don't be mean.
