It's not if you aren't a server, I was making a direct comparison between the minimum wage for servers and the minimum wage for non-servers.

There are many exemptions from the federal minimum wage in Canada, the ones I raised are just 2 of them. Temporary foreign workers and agricultural workers are also exempt, for example.

You could always look it up if you want to know more, it's public information.

But it seems like server wages were abolished.

That previous standard practice was abolished in 2022, Canada-wide. Now, all servers make at least the provincial minimum wage.

I keep telling this to people who think server wages are a thing.

What do you think @gonzo-rand19@moist.catsweat.com ?

Also, even when server wages were a thing pre 2022, they were within a dollar of minimum wage Canada wide. It wasn't the $2/h Americans have, it was $16 instead of $17.

Oooh I was totally misreading it. Sorry. I get it now!
