They’re paid, but at a lower wage. In some instances they do not even make minimum wage without the tip. Meaning they can be paid as low as $2.13 an hour by the employer and the rest of their compensation is based on tip.
204 u/YolopezATL Aug 28 '24 I worked in restaurant tech for years and the language we used to describe states that enforced higher wage standards for tipped employees was wild. “Can you believe it? States like California are wanting restaurant owners to pay federal minimum wages along with letting their employees make tips!” Place was awful. 57 u/Equivalent_Law_6311 Aug 28 '24 Minnesota also pays minimum wage plus tips, been that way for quite some time. 48 u/Propane4days Aug 28 '24 This is a great idea!!!
