She went from a $12/hour job as a manager (when the company went bankrupt) to a $10/hour job at Starbucks - on March 1, just before they started shutting down. So far, she's been earning enough in tips to make up the difference in hourly rate - and she's been able to pick up shifts because she is willing to drive to work at other stores. So her pay has not really decreased so far.

Althouth it is decreasing this week. Stricter COVID rules mean that the store hours are decreased, so she's barely at 25 hours this week.
