No - california waiters get minimum wage plus tips. Some of them make six figures. Their cultural negotiation of the standard trip from 15% to 20% was a genius bit of persuasion relying on the American discomfort with service workers. Nobody’s talking about how “hard work” bathroom cleaning is and tipping their office janitor, despite the fact that their office janitor is working much harder for much lower wages.
