Not for waiters/waitresses.


Yes, for everyone. Read the legislation.

Here, I'll help you.

Minimum Wage Tipped Workers
Cash Wage: $2.13
Maximum Tip Credit: $5.12
Note: A service or tipped employee means an employee of hotel, motel, tourist place, or restaurant, who customarily and regularly receives more than $20.00 a month in tips.
Note:The cash wage or basic wage rate is the minimum required employer contribution towards your hourly minimum wage. The "maximum tip credit" is the amount of tips you will need on top of your cash wage to make the minimum wage of $7.25 per hour. If you do not receive sufficient tips in your workweek to achieve the minimum wage for all hours worked that week, your employer must make up the difference.

I did read the legislation. You should try it as well.

Minimum wage for wait staff is $2.13.

You just quoted it.

You just need to sharpen up your understanding of the terms involved, it's right there in front of you.

The law says that if you don't make up the $5.12/hr in tips, your employer must pay you enough to meet that standard.

The minimum wage that the employer is required to pay you is, however, $2.13, as you have shown.

*facepalm*

In the end, the employer is required, by law, to ensure you go home with 7.25/hr in pay. End of story.

If someone is allergic, it is amazing how little of the offending food can trigger an
allergic reaction.

if someone is allergic, it is their own responsibility to make sure they don't eat food they can't.

that isn't hard to do, and in restaurants they have to be much more aware and make sure they inform

waitress, and lots of restaurants have signs asking patrons to do just that.

They do if you DON'T WANT THEM, Mr Dementia.

If you want to get ridiculous, I can get very ridiculous there AIRHEAD. People eat at Big Macs because it's cheap, so obviously the quality of the food beyond a minimum standard isn't a concern (to most sensible people who are scrimping). If you watched AND ABSORBED the documentary about the guy who ate at Big Macs for a month and damn near died, you would realize that pickles are the least contaminated, toxic or lethal of anything McDonald's serves, so to be an idiot about a f**King pickle is just a sure sign of a low I.Q. (and I've already pointed out if your I.Q. is less than 4 you should not be on here) Just to get a little more ridiculous I occasionally buy a hamburger at the local bowling alley ($3.50 for the best hamburger in town) That hamburger is delivered on a plate accompanied by a pickle on the side. So you have two choices you can eat the pickle or not. Now once that pickle is placed on the plate there is probably a chance of about 1 in 111 billion that some pickle juice could run across the plate and "contaminate" the burger, and then there is about a 1 one in 384 billion chance that the person eating it is allergic to pickles and there maybe a further 1 in 76 thousand chance the person could die. But then again there is probably a 1 in 350 thousand chance he/she could die choking on the burger.

if someone is allergic, it is their own responsibility to make sure they don't eat food they can't.

Do you think you can possible rub some of your wisdom off on Einstein? :lol: This "pickle juice" that he wants to get W.W.3 started over is actually vinegar. Have you heard of anyone being allergic to vinegar? :lol:

It was not the Big Macs that almost killed him. He had fries and a coke with each. And he supersized whenever he was asked. Other people have done the same thing without the fries and/or coke and actually lost weight over a month. Not sure how I could stand to eat anything that regularly myself. Plus the guy was previously on some crazy vegan diet which made his body unsure how to handle the sudden influx of meat and greece. That movie was seriously biased and used to prove a point that eating anything excessively is bad except making it specically about McDonalds.

That is true, but in general terms "contaminating" McDonald's food with pickles is like contaminating sh*t with chocolate. :lol:

vinegar is a neutralizer, sort of like switzerland during world war 2, it doesn't want to get involved
with anything else, not a trouble maker.

one could do that harm by eating exclusively any hamburger, fried and soft drink that often, doesn't
matter what name is on the front of the restaurant.

the 'stupid' is between the ears of the eater.

Well fast food is a chain production industry,McD BK are serving it as the "reciepe" says.
as others have said if you want it your way,go to Harvey's or Subway.
Actually BK's thing is, "have it your way", but they all usually give the customer what they want.

Pickles don't contaminate, Einstein!
... or at least no more so than tomatoes, peanut oil, salad dressing, mustard, ketchup, and a few hundred other items.

If someone is allergic, it is amazing how little of the offending food can trigger an
allergic reaction.
Yep.

Do you think you can possible rub some of your wisdom off on Einstein? :lol: This "pickle juice" that he wants to get W.W.3 started over is actually vinegar. Have you heard of anyone being allergic to vinegar? :lol:
:rolleyes: What company only uses vinegar in their pickle juice?
From Bick's garlic dills:
Cucumbers, water, white vinegar, salt, dehydrated garlic, calcium chloride, seasonings, polysorbate 80
from Bick's sweet pickles:
Cucumbers*, sugar/glucose-fructose, cauliflower*, water, white vinegar, onions*, salt, calcium chloride, potassium sorbate, seasonings, colour (contains tartrazine), polysorbate 80, sulphites
from Vlasik' baby dills: Cucumbers, Water, Salt, Distilled Vinegar,Calcium chloride, polysorbate 80, natural flavors, Potassium Metabisulfite (preservative), Yellow 5.
Heinz pickles, among others, are similar.

if someone is allergic, it is their own responsibility to make sure they don't eat food they can't.

How do you do that, if the restaurant gives you things you specifically asked NOT to have, and then their solution is to pull that item off your food and give it back to you?

I know that JLM's point is that anyone who eats at McDonalds should shut up and take what they're handed, but reality is somewhat different.
