Waffle House pays less than $3/hour for non-tipped work. Employees not allowed to file class action because of contract (www.axios.com)

This says non-tipped work, which is unusual even in the US.

And the line for what is related work (like a bartender washing glasses) and non-related (cleaning bathrooms) combined with how contracts are legal until they aren't means it is possible the judge could rule in Waffle House's favor.

And no, it is not unusual for restaurants to have waitstaff do things that don't fall into the tipped category. They even point that out in the article.

A ton of employment issues like this could be solved by raising the minimum wage and getting rid of tipping culture.
