This is the real problem though, it's people like you that genuinely don't understand what they're talking about. I sit on a throne of lies?

Minimum wage is 7.25 an hour. All of our workers start at 9 an hour PLUS tips. The average serving wage is 4 an hour plus tips. Some workers start at 15 an hour it depends what your job is. How long does it take to go from 15k a year to 76k a year? Depends, could be three years, could be five. But no, we don't give 50 cent raises. When we do give raises we don't consult the employees, we look at our books see who is under valued based on their skill set and just up their hourly rate when our accountant calls us for payroll.

The problem is entitlement, people want to start at 15 an hour full benefits, and work mon-fri. Sorry but yes, you do have to earn that spot.

So yes, when someone steals I can blame them.

15K btw is what counter girls start off at... and when I say counter girls I mean high school girls that do that work part time. Our serious full timers make (and I, unlike you, and being completely honest and fair when I say this) (between before taxes after tips) 22K - 26K a year. Our manage starts at 52K. This is a job with NO requisite, you can be a high school drop out and go from counter girl to management making 76k a year.

But nobody wants to work, and if they do work they're entitled. Nobody wants to pay their due and earn a living.
