everybody already gets at least minimum wage unless the employer is breaking the law.
Your suggestions seem hellbent on making life worse for millions because of an aversion to cusom.
Can’t speak for elsewhere but most places in the US carve out an exception to minimum wage laws that allows tipped workers to be paid less on the assumption that they’ll make up the difference in tips.
All of those laws include a provision that the employer must pay at least the minimum wage of a non-tipped worker in any pay period where the tips received don't account for the difference between the tipped minimum wage and the non-tipped minimum wage. Thus, everyone is receiving at least the non-tipped minimum wage unless the employer is breaking the law.
