That way the only way they could get a pay raise is to raise the lowest paid employee's pay as well. I suspect that would be waayyy to socialistic for this enlightened country though.....

First it was minimum wage laws that created unemployment. What are going to be the effects when the Obamaphiles and the pay czars and their minions get around to creating maximum wage laws, like they're trying to do with CEOs? Gotta wonder.

It's basically made Americans almost unemployable in comparison to foreigners. So instead of employed at a low wage, an American will be completely unemployed and the job will go to a foreigner overseas. That's what happened with manufacturing.

aluva , I'm certain that the poster you're berating understands the system - after all, he or she was a server - if anyone would understand the way it works, it would be someone who has done the work! Clearly there's a misunderstanding - and I also get that you're shocked by the idea that servers make more than minimum wage in the United States - but believe me, that's the way it is here, ...
