Correct - this rests on employers, but for those dependent on employers for a job with no say but "GTFO if you don't like it" will blame whomever is stiffling their wages - in this case, crappy tippers IN ADDITION TO the minimum wage. However, given the spurious type of work this involves, employers have the advantage, so the employees have no recourse but to blame any one they can, including bad tippers. The tipping culture in the US is disgusting by modern standards of society, but there is no mechanism to unionize wait staff, or kitchen staff, dishwashers etc. included.
