<human>: Hello! I've been off and on as a server and bartender in California for the last 10 years and my newest restaurant gig has some practices that I've not encountered before and I'm hoping to gain a little insight on the legality of it all. I'll keep it short. 

Servers need to tip out a lot to the folks behind the scenes that make everything run smoothly and I am more than happy to share the wealth with my awesome team. Something that is new to me though is paying out the servers that come in to relive us for our 30 minute breaks (or "breakers") which in and of itself also is not a big deal. A bit unusual maybe-all my other experience with breakers is that the house pays them an elevated hourly wage for the shift. What *does* seem shady is that we are all now being mandated to take 30 minute breaks regardless of the length of our shift. If the restaurant is not busy it is not unusual that a server could only end up working a two and a half hour shift. The reasoning behind this, told to me from management, was that they didn't want servers taking ten minute breaks. 

Hell, I could be ok working two or three hours and walking out with no money because at the end of the day I still get a paycheck. What doesn't sit right with me is that we are being told that we will start getting write-ups (with 3 you get terminated) if we don't claim fifteen percent of our total sales at the end of our shift. If I'm on a slow shift and I have to tip out a breaker, the back of house team *and* people are tipping poorly it is not unlikely that I'll walk out with ten percent. It doesn't seem all on the up and up to pay taxes on money I haven't earned.

Give me a shortened version of the text
<bot>: In CA can a restaurant force you to pay $10 to take a 30 minute break every shift? Can they also punish you for not claiming fifteen percent of total sales?
