It's the only profession where making below minimum wage is perfectly acceptable. Bosses exploit that too. It sucks. Or I should say sucked - I got out of the industry 6 years ago. That's why I laugh at those Starbucks wankers who put out their wee 'tip jars' on the counter. Dude, you're already making your 8 an hour. Give it a rest!
