When this came up in 2016 or 2017, there were only two examples of servers being paid less than min wage in Maine in the past decade. Do you know if this incident at Il Leone was reported? There are undoubtedly corrupt restaurant owners, who need to be called out if this happens. It is in fact illegal.

It was very difficult for the anti-tipped wage proponents to demonstrate tipped servers were earning less than minimum wage previously, wondering if that has changed with any actual concrete examples.

It wasn't reported because the server's mother went down there and made a scene with the douchebag grifter owner (he was a shithead grifter before this for other reasons) and forced him to cough up the cash by making a scene at his restaurant
