suggested tip printed on bill?

Then your employer was doing something illegal, unless you are OLD. But this has been the law since 1975.

Federal Laws for Tipped Employees

• Workers in professions where tips are received for services rendered may receive a lower hourly wage. Those professions include, but are not limited to, hairdressers, barbers, servers and bartenders. Federal law allows for up to $5.12 in tips to be considered as part of the minimum wage of $7.25. This means that the effective minimum wage an employer must pay as part of a combined wage and tips compensation is $2.13 per hour. For example, if a person worked 10 hours and received $75.00 in tips, $51.20 of those tips would offset employer payments, leaving the employer responsible for $21.30 in wages. The employee thus receives $75 in tips plus $21.30 in wages, for a total of $91.30. The definition of a tipped employee is someone who regularly receives at least $30.00 per month in tips.

• BUT, IN MY STATE,Virginia Laws for Tipped Employees
• Virginia laws regarding tipped employees are not as generous as FSLA minimums. In Virginia, the entire minimum wage can be offset by tips. For example, if a person works 10 hours and receives $75.00 in tips, those tips would be considered full payment and the employer would not be required to pay an hourly wage.

I tip pizza/chinese food guys a minimum of 25%. I was both a waiter and a delivery driver in the past. I'd rather do the waiting job.

I did both a pizza hut. i made far more (shorter hours) doing delivery. Delivery drivers make min wage+tips+delivery charge.

so i made $4.25+$.50 per delivery+tips. i averaged $2 a tip and would get 3-4 delivery's an hour. so $8 in tips plus $2 in delivery charge.

so over 4 hour work shift (i worked Friday nights, Saturday nights and Sunday afternoon) i would make roughly $57.

witch in 1993 was a good pay for a 18 yr old (btw gas was like $1.00 a gallon)

BUMP!

I would leave nothing or less than the expected and then never go back. People who patron an establishment over and over, complaining about the rules the whole time need to be kicked in the balls. Its a free country. You are free to spend your money elsewhere.

But the point is, waiters make minimum wage with or without tips

Whenever I've seen this they usually give the calculation for 15,18, and 20.

California has its OWN laws and forbids that. Remember states have their own LAWS too. That is why we have State and Federal minimum wages.

I don't see anything wrong with adding a suggested 18%
