Tipped jobs have a lower minimum wage than untipped jobs.

If you give the option for customers to tip...

Then it's easier to underpay them (further)

It’s baffling to me that this exception exists. There’s zero justifiable reason for it imo.

Especially since I think it hasn’t been increased in ages. So it’s essentially an unpaid tip only job (yeah yeah I know they cover it if tips don’t make up to minimum)

That would completely depend on your juridiction. Minimum wage where I live is $13.85, minimum wage tipped is $10.85.

If you're at a sit down restaurant and sit there for an hour and are the ONLY table that person has for that hour, they make minimum wage with a $3 tip. And yet, even then I hear the nonsense about not making enough on tips from time to time. It's greed at that point.
