1. “"... The employer, in the case subjudice, operated a Holiday Inn Restaurant, consisting of two areas for the service of food to the public, one called the Dining Room and the other the Coffee Shop.

The employer explained the difference in the pay scale was due to the fact a waitress in the Dining Room would earn more in tips than one in the Coffee Shop, and such was the understanding of the waitresses. The employee testified she was hired at 50 cents per hour and told she could keep her tips, which she considered as a part of the inducement for her to work.
