I'm getting fed up with my pay checks. I work 50+ hours biweekly and doing all the calculations, I only make around $8.45, plus tips which adds to around $15-16 per hour. But if you really think about it, that's BULL! Minimum wage is $10.25 - with or without tips, and this is against the law. You know what else is against the law? Not being paid for time and a half on holidays and being demoted for two weeks worth of tips if late twice. You'd think with a reputable restaurant like ours, problems like this shouldn't even exist. Oh, and I'm not even allowed to take days off unless it's for a legitimate reason like exams, appointments and tests. I guess it's an asian thing, huh? A few of my co-workers and I feel like we're being cheated and taken advantage of, but we're honestly too nice and such push overs and we don't have the heart to complain. I feel like such a selfish and obnoxious person complaining about money when there are people out there who can't even make a penny, but then again, I live in CANADA, a country that promotes equality. *sigh* the day I leave Spring, I'm never working in an asian environment AGAIN!
