The minimum wage for tipped workers is 7.25, like everyone else.
From U.S. Department of Labor "Covered non-exempt workers are entitled to a federal minimum wage of not less than $7.25 per hour effective July 24, 2009..... Tips may be considered as part of wages, but the employer must pay not less than $2.13 an hour in direct wages and make sure that the amount of tips received is enough to meet the remainder of the minimum wage."
I'm not saying you shouldn't tip, just that they are guaranteed wages even if you don't.
Emergency rooms are required to treat patients with emergency medical conditions regardless of inability to pay, so it would be extremely unlikely for this to happen in the U.S.
I realize technological advancement is necessary, but the United States has the largest and most advanced military in the world so why do we need this and who is this meant to defend us against. We could cut our defense spending by 75% and still have the best military in the world.
This kind of thinking sounds so crazy when you're talking about cars but this is the thought process behind for-profit prison. Instead of trying to help our society they only try to make more money and don't care if it hurts the general public or makes the prisoners into worse people (repeat customers are good for business).
Wow this is amazing. I always thought that caiman and gharial were in the same family as crocodile but they are each in their own family, and the gharial is the only surviving species in the family gavialidae.
