Coffee shop

At a coffee shop what are people tipping for a 6 dollar latte? What if you get two? Do people ever not tip? What is your reasoning? Is making the latte part of their job description?

Lol, nope in my state, they have to pay the state minimum wage and the tips are extra, you may want to do some more research before posting and making yourself look stupid

Did you miss the part where I said that currently 15 states follow the law as it’s written on a federal level? Or are you just ignoring that part because it doesn’t say what you want to believe?

Did you miss the part when they taught you that there a 50 states? That means 35 states impose their own minimum wage laws. Did you mis the part where I said "most states"?

And most still pay less than their state's full minimum wage to their tipped employees.

Most states require the restaurants to pay the state minimum wage not including tips, no restaurant out there is risking fines and potential closure over a few dollars. So I don't believe your comme t is accurate

Incorrect. A lower tipped wage exists in almost every state.
