Double the Minimum Wage NOW to $15/Hour. Apply It to Tip-Earning Wage and Commission Earners, Too.

@SW-User sales commission, too?

@GERRI

They should at least earn the minimum hourly wage.

If they're not an effective sales person, they can always be let go.

@GERRI
Commissions are paid incentives.. so they are taxable..
The irs says that i can give a tax free gift of up to ten thousand dollars each year to anyone i like..
My tip is a gift from me to the server and so it should be tax free

@SW-User Tips are not "gifts" or at least they weren't when American's still had a decent work ethic. TIP: [b]T[/b]o [b]I[/b]nsure [b]P[/b]romptness. I've always thought it insane to TAX commission at such ridiculously high, flat rates

@GERRI

As George W. Bush said, "It's not the [i]government's[/i] money. It's the [i]people's[/i] money."

I should have a right to give a [u][b]gift[/b][/u] if I want to.

@beckyromero Then none should include "gratuities" in the bill

@GERRI

That's there because the IRS taxes tips at a minimum amount. Even if they aren't give!
