> You seem to be implying that the current minimum wage system is effective in some way. Try living in any city in the US on minimum wage... You're talking about a completely different thing, unless you're advocating tipping everyone you believe may be on minimum wage. At no point did what I write imply the current system is good, I simply said it exists and that the restaurant industry carved a special little exception out for themselves. That exception was carved out so they could directly push the burden of paying employees on the customers while continuing to get the same profits from their product.
