no- california is an awesome state to work in. state minimum wage is over $6/ hr and san fran has it's own minimum wage of $8 i think. here in AZ we don't have a state minimum wage so we go by federal which is $5.15 BUT federal allows employers to take a $3.02 tip credit for employees who receive tips... therefore, i make $2.13/ hr... in a 40 hr workweek my paycheck is less than $90 but then they take out my taxes so if i made $600 in tips that week, i owe $120 in taxes, so my paycheck is gone, and at the end of the year i owe the government $30 for that week. it's totally retarded. the cost of living has gone up so much since 1998 but servers still make the same wage in my state.
