Many states pay foodservers less than minimum wage too.  They figure "hey, you get tips, so uh... fuck you, you're getting half or a third of minimum wage, and you better hope you make the difference in tips, and if you have a bad day where you don't get too many tips, well, fuck off and die."  Luckily I'm in California where that's illegal.

How's the Californian economy coming along?

You aren't blaming the laws on waiters and waitresses for California's economy are you?

To be fair, in general the over progressive nature of California is what is causing it's huge crash.

Buisnesses and people are fleeing California rapidly... which shouldn't happen.

Personally i'd blame it on illegal immigration combined with their overly progressive nature....

They're taxing themselves out of revenue, way overspending and can't find a way to stop it.  They'd of defaulted on their debts like greece LONG ago if it wasn't for the federal government.

They actually started giving out IOU's to buisnesses rather then money.

Then demanded taxes on those IOU's.  "I owe you 100 dollars.  Now pay me a $10 tax on that 100 dollars!"

Of course, the illegal immigrants wouldn't be so favourably employed if they weren't so much cheaper to employ than their Californian counterparts.
