MODERATORS
Most people who get a tip are paid by the hour by their employers in the US (and everywhere else that I know). Tips are a portion of the cost of the meal, usually.
So where your saying, in your previous comment that the hour pay hasn't gone up at all, or it has gone up bit not at the same rate as inflation? That sucks (but then again all workers seem to be impacted by that problem lately, agree that servers might be more impacted due to low wages)
The federal wage for tipped workers in the USA has not changed since 1991. It remains at $2.13 per hour.
Most states have a higher minimum, but 15 states use the federal value:
https://www.dol.gov/agencies/whd/state/minimum-wage/tipped
The population of those states is about 107 million people, so this is for about a third of the overall US population.
Got it, it sucks. Really 35 million people need to fight to abolish tips, and get this mess fixed including having minimum wage indexed to inflation or at least reviewed periodically and adjusted. We all love to bash the capitalist here and blame the employer, but really tha change needs to be demanded by the people affected, the workers, or it will never happen.
