Transcript

A tweet saying "100k a year to take someone's order at Taco Bell . Totally makes sense.". It has a reply saying "Where the hell did you get that number? If someone's working enough hours to make that on $15 an hour, they deserve it. $15 an hour, a person working 40 a week makes $31,200 a year." the reply has 2 likes.

Lots of great comments in here but somehow no one brought up that the federal minimum wage is still only $7.25/hr.

7.25, including tips.

The federal tipping wage is only $2.13. If that plus tips isn’t at least $7.25 then the employer is suppose to bridge the gap. That’s hard to track especially with cash tips so I’m sure you can guess how often that happens…

Wage theft is the largest form of theft in the US. Business owners think it's abhorrent when they get robbed, so they steal 100x the amount from their employees to make it right. You slap their face, they amputate your limb.
