Tipped workers make their money working hours when it's busy, but restaurants have to be open and have staff during hours that are not. If you give wait staff a normal wage, restaurants have to have more workers on hand when it's less busy and there are more other labor laws regarding wage and hour minimums that they'll lose exemptions from.
- baumandm 9y agoHow about commission-based pay, where wait staff get a base wage plus a per-table commission. So basically just like tipping, but without the customer discretion part of it.
