It's not all fair at work

Two busboys were fired without notice on Monday morning. These two guys work their asses off and on weekends, they sometimes make more money than the waitresses do. I have no problem with tipping them 3% of my sales because they deserve it. Especially the two that no longer work there. Intelligent guys, hard workers and fun to work with.
On Sunday, they were overheard by a Holy Owner discussing labour law, and how this particular place of employment does not obey those laws. Monday morning, they were no longer employees. We only have one busboy now, excluding the bouncer who is now doubling as a busboy. Which makes no sense to me whatsoever... can you imagine an extremely large and intimidating man squeezing behind the bar in the middle of a rush to restock the fridges? Or can you imagine a man of that girth manouvering on the packed patio to change ashtrays? I think busboys are called busboys for a reason.

In Quebec, waitresses have to claim 8% of their nightly sales as tips, which is then taxed on each paycheck. On Friday and Saturday evenings, we must tip out at least 7%. If a customer tips me less than 15%, I still get taxed for what I did not make. On top of the fact that I end up tipping out on what I did not make. No wonder I am still strapped for cash, even though I have been working full-time for 2 or 3 weeks now. At any other job, I should have been able to pay my bills and start saving for next month's rent by now. I just recently got my phone cut (it came back with glory last night, so don't worry too much) and my hydro bill is a week late. I have not even been able to worry about rent yet, let alone moving expenses.

Today I have a job interview at what I believe is the exact opposite of where I work now. I can wear jeans and comfy shoes. They serve good food. They have good prices on drinks. A casual atmosphere with good food, good beer and good service. Hotness is an asset, not a requirement. I hope I get this job because I could really use a change of pace. I could also use more money, and I have a feeling that this new place would pad my pocket more than a snobby, over-priced lounge with slave-drivers as the owners.
