Do, if you are at work, you should be paid. Do we only pay servers when they are actively waiting on tables? Do we only pay cooks when they are cooking your food. Do we only pay retail workers when they are dealing with a customer? Pay them to be there or get the fuck out of here.
Yes, actually. In the USA anyway. They’re paid very low wages and that’s a very common form of wage theft that goes unchecked and unreported: restaurants required servers to do pre-shift work at their normal sub-minimum-wage pay with no hope of making tips during that time. It’s illegal but happens all the time
Notice you did say wage though, right?! I don’t agree with it either, but flight attendant don’t get shit until the plane is in the air or something ridiculous. Not a cent.
