Unfair waitress wages?
My friend makes $3.25 and hour plus tips. But they don't get much sit ins its mainly call out orders andshe'd be lucky to make a few bucks in 5 hours of work. If they don't make enough tips to equal minimal wage, should the company pay reimbursed their pay? Should i contract the department of labor? (its part time but hard to find a job here)

A fair days work for a fair days pay. Yes your friend is entitled to earn a living. Name and shame the employer that's making more money for themselves by paying the workers less.
What a great human that employer is.

The $3.25/hour is the minimum wage if your state allows an employer to credit tips. If your friend is not making enough tips to meet the federal minimum wage of $7.25/hour, the employer should pay the difference between her current wage plus claimed tips and the federal minimum wage.

tricky question, but federal law mandates minimum wage and some cities have higher minimum wage
i think you should but underemployment is better than unemployment
better to have A job
still i think u shud contact, it most definitely is illegal

3.25 is probably paid to offset that fact. I never received more that 2.20, and that was with a raise-it was 2.15 before that.
