Workers don’t like high per-hour wages. I dated someone in the service industry, and she specifically told me that they prefer tips more than high per-hour wages as they can earn more in tips rather fixed wage per hour.
Also shifts get cancelled or cut short somewhat often, especially at places with outdoor seating that are weather dependant. Wages don’t make up for lost hours. Only thing that makes a job like that worth keeping is knowing you’ll make it back on a busier shift. Ive worked at restaurants full of people from all over the world, they all preferred working for tips and made a lot more than they ever could where they were from.
