most brit bars employ illegaly,the last place she worked paid 6 euros but the owners kept 2/3 of the tips after one year they did put her on a 10 hour a week contract(despite the 30 hours she worked) after 6 months replaced her with a 17 yr old at 5 euros an hour,i should have reported them really,on a sunday they have 5 illegal staff,what would you do

sorry dont mean to hijack thread,just want people to be aware that tipping is needed by the staff,but doesnt always go to the people it should
