      1. There is a lot of wiggle room about how POS based tipping is treated from a legal perspective
      2. The food service industry, much like repair/contracting, is notorious for being largely unenforceable for fines like this
      3. Let’s just say that I like the crew that does the actual work there and I am pretty sure none of them are in this country legally…

      Breaking the law does not mean that the business will get punished. And if it does, it’s a fine.

      When the punishment is a fine, it means that it’s a law against poor people.

        I see you’ve never witnessed the DoL fuck a small business to death over stuff like this. The owner would be required to pay back, at minimum, the x amount he stole from the employees. Often it’s several times as much, which could easily bankrupt them.

        The real issue is that employees don’t usually know what the boss is doing is illegal.
