This is a myth. Tipped employees typically do way better than the minimum wage.
Tipping encourages good service. Go to your average European restaurant and you can see what the alternative is: lazy and often outright rude waitstaff who resent their customers.
- Cederfjard 6y agoI’ve been to many European restaurants, being European myself, and I don’t usually find that waitstaff are rude or lazy. I actually think I would be a bit nauseated by a waiter putting on some sort of over-friendly spiel for me to encourage a higher tip. It makes sense that receiving tips can be more lucrative than a low fixed wage. Is it the case across the board? I imagine that young and attractive people do better in that regard, irrespective of actual performance.
- ccktlmazeltov 6y agoin the US every 5 min your waiter comes to ask you if you're OK, I fucking hate that

Be it drink refill, sauces, an extra order, the check if you’re in a hurry to leave, etc. A skilled waiter can make himself available without interrupting too, by being on the lookout for eye contact and walking around his tables. I find it very pleasant.
