One of the new fights I am involved in is the current European Capital of Culture Liverpool, with its history of slavery, has opened a new cruise ship terminal, and the city is trying to attract US cruise companies like Carnival and Royal Carrib.
The average wage for a waiter is $50 a month + tips, they work on average 28 days in that month starting at 6am and ending at 11pm if they are lucky!
We are trying to stop these modern day american slavers entering the port of liverpool.
Your min wage I think is in the US about $6 an hour, this does not apply to waiting staff who get tips(the average rate is $2,50 per hr) over here its about $11 an hour.
Tips are drying up in both cases due to the bad state of your economy.

I guess it's a matter of supply and demand. Waiting tables doesn't take much skill and if a person can't find a better paying job, at least he can be a waiter. It seems to me that if the economy is so bad, these people would be thankful for the job they have.
