There is a “server wage” that is less than the minimum wage if you are not a server. Similar to the “youth wage” that is less than the minimum wage for an adult doing the same job.
I can’t make sense out of this at all. How can you be paid a server wage when you’re not a server? How is the minimum wage a minimum if it can get lower? Am I just being pedantic?
It’s not if you aren’t a server, I was making a direct comparison between the minimum wage for servers and the minimum wage for non-servers.
There are many exemptions from the federal minimum wage in Canada, the ones I raised are just 2 of them. Temporary foreign workers and agricultural workers are also exempt, for example.
You could always look it up if you want to know more, it’s public information.
Also, even when server wages were a thing pre 2022, they were within a dollar of minimum wage Canada wide. It wasn’t the $2/h Americans have, it was $16 instead of $17.

Not in Ontario any more.

But it seems like server wages were abolished.
I keep telling this to people who think server wages are a thing.
What do you think @gonzo-rand19@moist.catsweat.com ?

Oooh I was totally misreading it. Sorry. I get it now!
