Started a new job at a burger restaurant- the first time I haven’t been in semi-fine dining.
What they told me: it’s $15/hr PLUS tips!
What I found out my second week: it’s $10/hr, and we take $5 out of your tips each hour to pay you. This is reported as paying you $15/hr.What they told me: Some shifts, it’s just you and a manager on the floor, so you don’t have to split your tips with another server/runner etc.!
What I found out my second week: the owner doesn’t want to pay managers a salary, so he puts them on the tip pool; I don’t have to share my tips with bussers or runners, but I will have to give the manager 50%
What they just flat out didn’t mention: They take the credit card authorization fee out of my pay.
What they DO tell me: people just don’t want to work anymore!
