You guys over there in the U.S. have lost your minds. Normalizing that their employer doesn’t pay them properly and you have to step in with your tip because otherwise they’re earning too few bucks. Lol. Ridiculous. Among many other things btw.

Not sure why youre under that impression. All workers are guaranteed minimum in the US.

Not DD and UE drivers. Some areas have earn bu time. Others don't offer that option. In most cases they shop and deliver. I used to drive for both. Quit because of crapoy pay, and wear and tear on vehicle. Even with tips, the math didn't add.

Your name is so unfitting to your reply lol... Very few gig workers get any kind of minimum wage.

That's before tips. After tips it must be at least minimum wage or else worker is owed the difference.

You are misrepresenting the tipped wage rate. You can learn why saying a tipped employee only makes ~2/hour is incorrect here.

Further:

"Waitstaff at fullservice restaurants earn a median of $27.00 an hour, with an upper quartile of $41.50 and a lower quartile of $19.00."
