At least five states are considering requiring full minimum wages for tip earners this year
Only seven states currently bar “subminimum” pay for tipped workers like bartenders and restaurant servers, but activists see 2024 as ripe to expand the tally to as many as 20.

Greedy employers leverage tipping to pay their employees the least amount possible. It's fucking disgusting.
And too many people who receive tips don't realize that it's their employer fucking them over rather.
It's worse than that, most of the time, employers are skimming from the tips. Don't tip for things that were previously non-tipped and give the person cash if you can.
The scummiest thing I've seen is restaurants adding a percent service fee before asking for an extra tip on top. Not a delivery service or 3rd party, the restaurant itself. Basically it makes customers tip less because they see the service fee so it's just flat out stealing the tip from workers.
most of the time
Citation needed. When I worked for tips, my tips never got skimmed.
Not them, but every tipped job I've had has been skimmed.
Whether to pay the cooks, dishwasher, or just straight pocketed by the owner, I only ever got 50-75% of the tip.
I've had my manager take our tip pool for snacks. The justification being that the snacks are for everyone even though half of us didn't eat the snacks. >:( I don't want chips, especially when it's my customer's good will directed towards me.
Surely you've got a source on this highly illegal activity. Or is it more likely you're making stuff up?
