<prompt> Human: New here, hopefully this is the right place. So, I am a server at a movie theater restaurant combo. I make a base wage of 3.25 but all my paychecks go straight to taxes, so I pretty much only get my tips. Today I was working a double shift from 10am to 10pm. My showtimes were staggered every hour, so thats how often I closed checks. As of 3pm, I had closed my first few theaters and had made about 31 in tips. At that point, a nearby power line was knocked down, so the power went out. All of the guests who were present were given free movie passes and sent home. All of my open tables received their meals for free and therefore did not tip me I had 475 in sales that were now free meals. We closed the building. For the next 3 hours, I and the other servers present were asked to clean everything. The power came back at 6pm, we re-opened at 7pm. During those 4 hours that we were closed, I made only my base server wage. not sure if its worth noting, but I also spent at least an hour serving the tables that received free food. Due to accident traffic along the highway, no one showed up to my last few movies, so I was sent home after spending 9 hours of my time at work. I made 31 for 9 hours of my time, assuming that my base wage is taxes...Anyway, I dont think that its legal for them to do this, but I dont want to confront anyone until I know for sure. If its relevant for laws or whatever I live in Texas.  <response>: Minimum wage is 7.25 in your state. Theyd owe you about 5 dollars if you press it so its a question of what its worth to you to pursue it.
