Except that the legislators and employers take tips into account when lobbying for and setting the minimum wage. We see it as "that waiter was nice, leave a generous tip". Employers see it as "if they don't do a good enough job they won't make any tips, and the problem will naturally work itself out." This is patently unfair because it treats tips as implied expected income, and wages are set so low that you can't make a livable income without them. This is patently unfair.
