servers
why are severs having to pay others salaries when we make only 2.13 an hour?we ask for 15% but we are still tipping out more than that
Why is this important?
i have been a server for 23 years and now we having to pay the salaries of busboys and bartenders. we are required to tip out 2.25 % of our sales even when we don't make even 15% of our sales. the IRS has taken away adding 18% gratuity on the bills of large parties..but in reality we hardly ever make that. we must pay taxes on of the sales we make(which if by choice would be small)and we never see a paycheck but we are forced to cover taxes on the people who dont even tip..never mind taking out the insurance we are forced to have. we need someones help please
