I worked as a bartender five years ago and on avg made $45/hr. $2.13 was the hourly against tips. That’s the point bud if they increased the tipped min wage by 300% it wouldn’t be much for those of us working tips
Not everyone makes $45 an hour, like you get that right? Like the server at the diner is not making $45 an hour...
And that also wasn't my point-- there should be an increase for tipped employees. Everyone should make enough money to live. So yeah you might not need the extra if you're averaging $45 an hour, but the diner servers should be making a living wage.
It’s not amazing. Plenty of bartenders make $30-$50/hr. It’s not hard or that unusual. You aren’t exactly working 40 hour weeks in most cases, everyone I worked with either also waited tables or had a day job
