This is the most blatant case of false advertising since the neverending story.

Quote from john9 :
Waiters love the tipping system. They make way more in tips than they would if they were paid a flat $15/hr. And on top of that, if it's a slow day and there are no customers, owners HAVE to pay the wait staff at least the national minimum wage or the statewide minimum, whichever is greater.
No owners don't. Servers in many states are exempt from minimum wage laws. Federal minimum wage laws don't apply period. My sister is a waitress in NJ. Her legal paychecks for 50-60 hours weeks were normally $20-30 after taxes and insurance. Tips had no impact on the paycheck.

Peace

Their pancakes are good when they're drenched with butter and their butter pecan syrup! I treat myself maybe once or twice a year. The high fructose corn syrup they use is really bad for your liver though. All restaurants are expensive now even with deals like this. The alternative is to make your own at home.

So... you gotta purchase one of those breakfast menu to get the unlimited pancakes for $5, right? You can't just go there and eat only pancakes for $5.
wtf are you talking about?

You can either get the noted breakfast menu items and also get unlimited pancakes or you can get the unlimited pancakes only for $5

That doesn't even make sense. Employers are obligated to meet the minimum with the tip credit. Obviously, if your sister earns more than the minimum wage, the employer isn't obligated to pay her more than the legal tipped minimum.

But we all know servers are historically good at lying about cash tips... Many don't report that income so they can on top of that, pay lower taxes and qualify for government programs.

Tipping is the most ludicrous service in America. If I order a chicken dish vs a lobster dish, both dishes require the same amount of work for the server... why should I pay them more because I chose a lobster dish?

You can just go and eat pancakes for $5.

Certain menu items already come with a side of pancakes. For these items, the side also becomes unlimited (except for the 55+ items).

Don't tip.. Tipping is optional NOT mandatory
Personally I hate the tipping system like everyone else, but will tip customarily as our culture expects. It would be great for it to go away.

If you don't want to tip, don't dine in at full service restaurants. I choose this option often. And I avoid a lot of services that I might otherwise have to tip, like using valet, bellhop, food delivery.

Insane. That sounds like $1/hour (pretax). Are you sure ? That can't be legal.

It isn't.
FWIW in my state servers make the local minimum wage, which is $16 to $19 near me. (ONE CITY HAS $16, ONE HAS $19)
Same as someone who works at Target, the grocery store, the gas station, some caregivers. BUT none of those people get tips on top of the minimum.
NOW restaurants here are adding another "fee" at the restaurants from 10% to 20% (which sometimes goes to employee healthcare but mostly goes into owner's pockets.
So basically a 40% surcharge if you sit down to eat. (20% fee + 20% tip).
They can F off with that. And now some are charging a tip of 15-20% automatically for pick up orders. Nope.
Not that a "minimum" wage ANYWHERE is a LIVING wage...but back to pancakes.
Seems like the best deal is to get a combo and eat that and take the pancakes to go.

Instead of rewarding fat people with ayce, you should get a discount for eating less. I only ever eat like 1-2 pancakes

One of the few sane comments in this discussion. People here act like dining and being waited on is a human right. If i want to be waited on and feel like paying for it, I go to a full service restaurant. If I don't feel like tipping I skip the full service restaurant that day.

I can't imagine the lack of integrity and moral compass it takes to demand the service and then stiff the server. Likewise, if you are trying to protest the owners of the restaurants "not paying their workers" I don't see how stiffing an hourly worker and paying the owner anyhow counts as a protest. It just looks like stiffing your server.
