Um, I believe that the hourly wage of waitstaff is tied to a percentage of the minimum wage.... Also, the gov't of SF may have a different law in place. The restaurant owner used terms such as 3 or 4 times as much, so perhaps they don't operate the same way.

Aha, so the waiters do make the same hourly minimum wage.... Apparently, they can make around $60,000/year..... waiting tables.....wow..... fuck college!

Yuppie, " I went to college, spent $250,000 and now I make $75,000 /year"

Waitress, " I got my GED, started working 4-6 years sooner and make $60,000 working part time"
