Cake Bake Shop at the BoardWalk is now open

Posted over on wdwmagic....Can't say I'm surprised.

"So word on the street is the cake bake just cut their front line employees hourly base pay"
"Word on the street" is not a verified source.

If this were true, it's time y'all step up and tip your servers more.
 

I read it as cutting existing salary...which would mean only one thing....sales aren't where they need to be.
How can I say this without getting into controversial politics? DH speculated that when tips became non-taxable, employers of tipped personnel would decrease their base pay (which is lower than non-tipped minimum wage because tips are expected to make up the difference and more) because the employees will be keeping more of their tips. So maybe cutting existing salary can mean more than one thing. I have no knowledge, just speculation.

The states set the tipping wages so they can't go below the state guidelines. They can only cut the pay if they were already paying more than the state minimum.
