It shouldn't, no. But there's a $2.13 an hour minimum wage for tipped employees. Employers have to fill the gap to $7.25 if tips don't cover it, but the simple matter is the law facilitates the expectation customers pay tips.
7 States and DC don't have a tipped minimum wage.
In CA it's $15.50 currently with our without tips.
43 states do.
And don't forget the colonies of puerto Rico and Guam
TIL!
It's almost like there are 50 states or something...
Dude don’t be an ass you know what I am saying. 43 states don’t do what you’re talking about. 7 do. That’s not “many” and many of don’t live in those places.
Uh huh.
So stop working those jobs.
You're literally agreeing to work for $2.13 an hour. Would you do that at any other job? Fuck no!
Anything else you get is just kindness.
I mean, I don't. I know people who have had to work terrible jobs serving food because there are work requirements to their medicaid benefits and such.
It'd be great if exploitative jobs were eliminated. But the legal minimum is generally what the market pressures businesses to run with.
It’s not always a choice
There's always a choice. Nobody HAS to work in a restaurant for tips
This is profoundly ignorant. Sorry, it just is. You need to read up on this stuff man.
