    The minimum wage isn't $20 an hour for tipped workers or non-tipped workers. In New York City, tipped service employees earn a cash wage of $13.35 with a tip credit of $2.65. Tipped food service workers are entitled to a $10.65 cash wage plus a $5.35 tip credit.

    Not surprised. Saw family filling trash bag with “endless shrimp” gleefully laughing about taking it home, I intervened and yelled “shame” as I requested that they stop abusing the system.
    How was I rewarded? Laughed at and called a “Karen”. The manager came over and I could tell was trying not to laugh at me for caring. Everyone’s a thief nowadays. No one cares. Not even the red lobster manager and staff. Well, now they are out of work due to their laissez fairs attitude. See if I care. Thank you!

    More and more people are opting for other restaurants with lobsters due to reasons like better taste. There are cities/towns where you can get a whole live lobster at the grocery store for $15 a lb or less.

      The company failed and so did the employees. They filed bankruptcy, it wasn’t just shutting down a location for say shop lifting. Their business model failed, you don’t always need a villain “executive” for something to fail.
