No, "some states" do not allow for paying wait staff less than minimum wage after tips. The federal minimum wage in theory enforces this. It's rather misleading

No, "some states" do not allow for paying wait staff less than minimum wage after tips. The federal minimum wage in theory enforces this. It's rather misleading to point out that they might be making less than minimum wage without tips, especially when the average hourly wage after tips is well above the average minimum wage at $11.82. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tipped_wage_in_the_United_States https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tipped_wage_in_the_United_Stat...
