> Unfortunately, minimum wage laws in the US have exemptions for workers who are expected to make most of their money through tips, which means that most restaurants pay them well under the "minimum".
Minimum wage is still the floor. The restaurant has to pay the difference if they are under.
- AngryData 4y agoBut they don't get paid minimum wage for just your meal, a person not tipping just ends up taking away from tips they earned from someone else that was over minimum wage. Not to mention not making tip minimums and asking for more wage from the restaurant will quickly get you fired.
- TheCoelacanth 4y agoIn theory. In practice, asking the restaurant to actually follow that law is a good way to get fired.
