Who is a "tipped versus non-tipped employee"? I think for servers coming to your table it's actually spelled out in law, for everything else it's a social convention that businesses can try to shove in one direction.
- jfengel 3y agoIt is a legal distinction. In most places there is a lower minimum wage for tipped employees. The law says what jobs qualify for the tipped minimum. (Legally, they have to make up the difference if you didn't make enough in tips. But most servers make more than that via tips, which is why they often fight efforts to eliminate tipping.)
