when i first started at my restaurant, i started as a TOGO host at 10.50hr plus tips because we already had a server and nobody was there to work TOGOs or the door. almost a year later i am a server but for some reason they schedule me still now as a TOGO person (super sucks but not the point). well today i was talking with some of my TOGO team and one of them was complaining because our other TOGO member makes 14$ an hour and she only makes 12$. and i was like what? we’re all clocked in under TOGO host why are we making different money? which prompted me to look at my own workday app and see that i still make 10.50 EVEN THOUGH IVE BEEN THERE THE LONGEST? and then i learn that a different girl—again clocked in under TOGO HOST—is making just 9$? am…
