I’m sure workers get paid minimum regardless. Tips are a way for the employer to pay sub-minimum wage, as long as they add up above minimum wage in the end.
It’s a federal law…there are a lot of tip based restaurant workers out there who oppose the no tipping and get paid a wage. They can make a lot more via tips, than a salary. It’s a shit position we have in the US.
Absolutely. I think it depends on a few things though. Since federal minimum is still 7.25, any tipped employee in those states with no higher minimum would absolutely hate a salary unless there was still tipping culture. But also, as someone who worked in decent and shitty restaurants alike, the clientelle is a big decider. In a shitty place, I’d rather have a salary, because the people are so selfish and entitled that they refuse to tip if we didn’t serve something that was never on the menu, or think $2 is suitable for a $20-$50 meal. In a better place, where tips are more consistent and proportional, tips are a better choice.
