Ok, I want to know what state you people live in.  I live in California and EVERYONE gets at least the minimum wage of $6.75 an hour (even waitresses) and then they get tips on top of that.  I know because I used to be a waitress in an Italian restraunt.  And in January, minimum wage is going up to $7 something an hr.  So dude, I have to agree with you.  Tips were just an extra bonus for me.  I don't see why we need to tip here in Cali.  Service sucks, it is expensive AND the waitresses get paid better than anywhere already.  So if there are any waitresses complaining about their $2 an hour, move to Cali and get treated with better pay.  No one gets a measly $2 an hour here.  Is that even legal?  Sad.

Every time minimum wage has been raised in the past, the prices of everything else follows.  I'm only 27, and I remember working for $4.25 an hour.  I don't think $7 is enough to live on, but I'm not sure that even raising it to that will do any good.

You are right; the minimum wage in Kansas is $2.65 an hour. I am almost sure that the federal minimum wage standard applies to Kansas, making it a useless law.\n\nhttp://www.49abcnews.com/news/2006/nov/17/kansas_lawmakers_likely_hear_more_minimum_wage/

Probably whatever the CA minimum wage is, and maybe more if you have decent experience.

The minimum wage was not necessarily established with the expectation that one would have to make do living on that wage.  There are people who are actually supported by others who are happy to receive 5.25 an hour--namely but not limited to teen agers.  Others might include retired people wanting to add a little income and perhaps others with a full time job wanting to make a little extra.

Starting wage normally depends on the area you are in. Cashiers don't start out as high pay as some of the other areas, but it's still normally good pay for the type of job you're doing. I don't know what wages are in NC, but most Wal-Marts start out anywhere from $7.00-$12.00/hour. Most have a pretty good benefit package, too--which is sometimes hard to find in retail jobs. I have several friends who work at Wal-Mart and they all enjoy their jobs very much. I think it would be well worth your time to check it out. Good luck.

Tennessee has no state laws about minimum wages at all. The federal laws would apply. \nThe Federal law states that:  An employer may credit a portion of a tipped employee's tips against the federal minimum wage of $5.15 per hour. An employer must pay at least $2.13 per hour. However, if an employee's tips combined with the employer's wage of $2.13 per hour do not equal the hourly minimum wage, the employer is required to make up the difference.
