1. that depends on your age and the national minimum wage for you area.
here in england if you are paid the national minimum wage you are entitled to recieve -

Apprentince under 19 years of age - £2.60 per hour
Apprentice over 19 years of age (who have not completed the first year of apprenticeship - £2.60 per hour
Apprentices over 19 years of age who have completed the first year of their apprenticeship - National Minimum Wage
Aged under 18 (but above compulsory school age): £3.68 per hour
Aged 18 to 20 inclusive: £4.98 per hour
Aged 21 years or more: £6.08 per hour

2. Waitresse's may or may not get tips. Some companies allocate a certain number of tables to one waitress and whatever tip is left on those tables are for the waitress to keep. Others collect the all tips and distribute them evenly between each waitresses on pay day and add them to the pay. Some may keep the tips for the company itself.

However i am unsure of whether any company has a right to deduct wages due to the amount of tips you may recieve. You will have to check with the company you work for and your legal rights, which a lawyer or your local council may be of help.

Thanks (Although I have to admit, some of those points you made sound a little unfair to waitresses.) Oh, and I'm not a waittresses, but I do plan on applying for a restaurant to become one. Sorry for forgetting to mention that, and thanks again. :)

It's okay, and it is unfair, especially if you only work part-time with no other job to supply an extra income on the side, but if you need to travel more then an hour away, you could ask whether the company or your local job centre or council can help with your travelling fees if only for a few months until you find a quicker, more money efficeint way of travelling to and from the work place.
