Were you paid $2/hr aside from your tips like is the minimum wage for tipped workers in the US? If not, you didn't need to worry because you weren't relying on them to pay your bills. American tipping culture sucks and ruins the experience for both customers and service staff, but it saves BUSINESSES money! So here we are.

Tipped salary still has minimum totals. Everybody is effectively making at least minimum wage.

12-15 hr is typically common in most areas before tips.

It's not a lot but I'd be willing to bet that less than 1% of wait staff don't clear at least $10/hr
