Our minimum wage is 7.50(possibly bumped up to 7.80 in Jan)..it's really high. I have been a waitress at a few places and all your tips are not included in your hourly wage. However 8% of your wages and tips does have to get counted for for taxes which kind of screws ya over if you aren't making a lot of tips.

I have friends who work in restaurants who claim that after their tips they make an average of 30$ an hour. Pretty nice. I plan on getting a sweet cocktail waitressing job next.
minimum wage went from I think $6.85 to $7.50 in the last couple years, and by 2010 or something it's supposed to be $8.75

and yeah i know this one guy who was bartending for a bit and on a normal saturday shift he'd leave with about $70 from his work and $200 from drunk asses who want more Alex Keith's
