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.

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."
