I know, but actually its the United States minimum wage for tipped positions. Its there, been around for long time. I have to agree that $2.90 an hour is way way too low. BUT, what I see is that if SOMEBODY is willing to work for 2.90 an hour to start with, the chance of getting fatter pay check in later time is increased! It actually shows future employer that you just want to work regardless of pay. That is what America employer is really looking for. I have tested it myself and I proved it myself to amazed. Those who refused to take "Bottom" position tend to have trouble finding decent jobs later on.
I started my job as dishwasher, in few months I landed even better job, and got another job. I was surprised the result from just start with dishwashing job.
I am not challenge against Europe because it is THEIR culture, and I am not interesting in compete or justify the culture that we have down here. So, Europe by means a contienent, and that America is just another contienent. Difference is expected.

Could you image how many customers visit to resturants? It's work hard for the waitresses to service many customers. It make the owners richer thru customers and hire waitresses cheaply which it's not right.
Some of posts look like that we have to pay the tips to waitresses  |
