Restaurant Withholding Tips; Is it legal?

OK honey, I have a RN degree and another degree and I find your posts insulting. I think you need to stop. People DO respect their servers. Posts like yours, make some people think twice.

OK.... whatever you say... but the posts where someone actually stated that "the pay should reflect the quality of work" that was completely justified right??? Give me a break

In that case, we should be paid $100 plus an hour... unless you are working at Hilton hospital that is

You are hostile, and are making people think twice about tipping nicely. No, that isn't the way it should be, but that is the way it is. Hostile servers are never embraced.

I'm a nurse not a server!!!

Last I checked I am not being tipped for changing anyones bedpan... so I am unsure of what you are referring to

My grandmother was a waitress and so I have always tipped really well because I know when my grandpop took sick with TB my mom and her 3 sisters were only able to get by on my Gmoms salary and tips from her waitress jobs....

So yea... it is personal for me in a way... and I am sorry if I got a lil emotional about it, but honestly they work hard for their money, harder then I work when I have a couple floor boarders who sleep through the night and I sneak on the DIS

Like I said, I work at a high end place an do not make $30 an hour- not even close. Please, if someone made $167 at a Texas Roadhouse, I wouldn't count that as normal. That person could have been on a profitable double shift, but, at least in my area, not normal (although I wish it was!).

Having waited tables in our youth, my husband and I usually tip in cash. It's the only way to make sure your waiter gets their tip.

8x30 = 240. 240/day is a nice salary....period. That is 1,200/week.

Goober person is delusional if she thinks that isn't a "nice" salary.

Depending on your tax bracket, that $1200/week drops down to about $700-$800 after taxes and if you live in a relatively expensive area of the country, as I do, $700-$800 a week doesn't get you a Mercedes. It gets you a 6 year old & a 10 year old car, an 1800 SF house and a nice enough middle class life if you're careful managing your money and have no major catastrophic events happen.

Plus, your posts are quite rude. Not quite necessary to be calling someone delusional, is it??? You're an RN with multiple degrees, so you have to have learned how to debate properly somewhere in your college life. There are better ways to disagree.

Seriously? $30 an hour?! I have two undergraduate degrees and my husband is almost finished a PhD. Neither of us make $30 an hour. I should have stayed uneducated! And here servers make at lease minimum wage, so they probably clear even more...

uneducated, think not!!! Many servers have earned their undergraduate degrees and their masters.
The last restaurant I worked out more then half of us were college graduates!!!
