Thank you for posting this. I am tired of hearing all the negativity against this because waiters are going to make $15 an hour SEVEN YEARS FROM NOW.

I think it’s outrageous that they are only being paid 3.33 right now. In 2018. I waited tables in high school and the hourly pay was 2.05 plus tips in the 1980s - only a one dollar increase over the course of 30 years?

And I have never heard of any employer actually paying the difference to make it up to the minimum wage. They are happy to have too many servers twiddling their thumbs when there aren’t too few customers. Isn’t the point of tips is that they can be in cash/under the table? If they employ less servers due to this, each server will have a chance to make more in tips. [/quote]

Maybe you never heard of employer paying the difference is because tipped employees make way more than minimum wage so employer doesn’t have to do it . By law though if tipped emolyees make zero tip guess what employer have to pay the difference. [/quote]
