> You all realize that tipped wage is $2.35/hr, which isn't usually enough paid consistently either. That is the federal tipped wage (which actually seems to be $2.13/hr). It depends which state you live in. Seems like only 15 states use the federal amount [1]. Where I live in Oregon tipped workers get the full minimum wage of $15.45/hr in the Portland metro area. There is also $14.20/hr for the rest of the state, and $13.20/hr for some rural counties. Some other states also require tipped workers to be paid the full minimum wage, but not that many. 1. https://www.dol.gov/agencies/whd/state/minimum-wage/tipped https://www.dol.gov/agencies/whd/state/minimum-wage/tipped
