TranscriptA 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.

Also, I have seen this happen at multiple chain casual dining restaurants, if you do manage to track it, and they have to make up the difference more than once, they will fire you on the spot. They claim that only bad servers can't make tips. The fact that this exclusively happened to male servers is not important according to Big Boy.

I know of two restaurants who did this during the pandemic while denying affordable health insurance to their workers.

Yeah I remind people all the time. One of em closed. The other's still going cause it's literally the only Indian place in like 50+ miles
