True, and so many of them now do what they do which is split equally between the waiters, cooks, hosts, dishwashers etc..

Young men can do well with waiting, too. Work those cougars, boy

The last line got me

Isn’t not paying minimum wage illegal?

Yea I'm pretty sure, that's why it's called *minimum wage*, that's the least amount you can pay someone.

There is a federal minimum tip wage, which is then adjusted state-by-state. in NH it looks to be $3.26/hr

Ohh, maybe. I think the absolute minimum wage is $7.25 an hour though

Here's how it breaks down.

TL;DR states get a tipped wage deduction from the federal minimum that allegedly offsets paying the minimum based on the state and the job, and that varies by state and by job. So you are correct there is a federal minimum wage, but each state gets to cook their books to avoid paying all of that to certain workers depending on their own rules.

Yeah tip wage can be good in places with a lot of traffic. Even more so if you are charming, attractive, or both, and know how to work a table.

I hated being a waitress. Depending on others to pay my bills while being fake nice, was like begging for money. If someone can make good money doing it, more power to them. But it's not for everyone

I could not wait tables. I have a face for radio and all the charm of a toxic waste dump.
