I worked for Bertucci's for a year in 2007..my checks were for $0.00
So I've often looked back on this dark chapter of my life (working as a server as a second job to make ends meet). It was a Bertucci's in Massachusetts that did not pay their servers, and claimed that tips alone were enough, citing what I believe were state laws. I usually averaged about $14/hr but at the end of the week these people would give me a "paycheck" stub for $0.00. This was customary for the servers. Looking back, I still don't understand how Bertucci's could get away with this, and it occasionally pisses me off to this day. Has anyone else dealt with something like this before?
