Duped by phony grassroots group, restaurant worker found herself lobbying to undermine minimum wage
Jennifer Sawhill, a 29-year-old server at Bartolino’s Osteria on The Hill, has been working in restaurants since she was 14 years old.
In her 15-year career, she’s worked at Sqwires, Square One Brewery, Soda Fountain Square and a number of other restaurants.
Waiting tables, bartending and working as a hostess helped put her through college at Lindenwood University, where she earned a degree in communications in 2013.
After college, when she couldn’t find a full-time job in her degree field, working in restaurants helped her pay the bills.
