| Topic | What are the big arguments against tipping in the US? |

It's my understanding that the law requires that companies/businesses make up the difference in wages if a tipped employee earns below the state's minimum wage. So servers will make at least minimum wage in the worst case, and potentially far above it in better cases. Yeah, they "make up" the difference by putting it towards your taxes. That's not money that a server ever sees. It's also taken over an aggregate, not any individual given day. So if you made like $7/hr over a pay period of two weeks, the $.25/hr difference would be made up by going towards your taxes. And then it would be $7/hr minus whatever you're tipping other workers out for. Tipping in the US exists so that restaurants can overstaff the floor. This is because they can't accurately predict their need for labor at any given hour. --- I can't leave without my buddy, Superfly. ... Copied to Clipboard! |
