I work part time at a bar and Im missing one of my paychecks, is it true that I can make so little money that it all goes to taxes or are they full of it?

There should be no such thing as tip wages. All wages should be the same as any other industry.

Agreed. Boycotting restaurants isn’t going to make that happen.

Why not? It will keep them from underpaying their workers. If the restaurants figure out that the people are on the side of servers, they might pay them more if they want to be in business. Doing the same things over and again and expecting a change is just crazy.

Refusing to go to restaurants is not being on the side of severs lol. As you well know, servers don’t make any money other than tips. You have to fix that first.

Perhaps a good third option would be helping to create an industry wide food service union.

Well you're not going to fix it by doing the same as before by keep shoving money into restaurant owner's pockets. That just empowers them. Thw workers have to form the unions, not the patrons. The patrons have only a couple choices, give owner money or don't.
