There really is no correct answer to the posts in this thread. It is very sad but true, none the less. Redwitch says the laws should be changed to insure that servers and all other restaurant employee's get paid the minimum wage but, then she goes on to say that if the owners were forced to pay a fair wage they would have to raise prices to a level that most of their patrons could ill afford. They would soon be out of business. Of course red is a good person and means well but, what is the answer. As a restaurantuer I have been searching for that answer for more years then I care to admit in public. I firmly believe that there is no answer. In my quest for a fair resolution to this matter, I got lots of opinions, especially from people that were never in the business. Those opinions that I got from folks like me that worked in the trade and then risked all to have their own place, gave me the same answer. There is no answer.
