I guaran-fucking-tee the wait staff serving $150 meals is making good money. The issue is the with the vast majority of wait staff who are working at places like IHOP. And there are issues that should be dealt with, but their example in this article was about a shitty breaking laws and not other laws that are shitty.

All in all, an article with a good (and correct, IMHO) goal that was written like shit.
