Exploitation in America's Turkish Restaurants
The source is a powerful exposé written by the blogger SpiritWhisper concerning systemic exploitation and wage theft prevalent in many Turkish restaurants across America. The author laments that while these establishments serve as cultural havens, the hospitality stops at the kitchen door, where owners frequently abuse the "tip credit" system to minimize labor costs. Specifically, the piece details how owners illegally withhold tips—sometimes up to 50%—by claiming "house shares" or excessive fees, effectively stealing from servers. Furthermore, the exploitation includes demanding excessive hours without overtime pay and leveraging the workers' vulnerable immigration status by threatening deportation if they object to the illegal practices, labeling the dynamic as a form of modern serfdom.
