[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you go into a restaurant today and tip $0, that server will still make minimum wage because the restaurant will need to bridge the gap. My DD is a server and on days she doesn’t make minimum from her tips, the restaurant has to ensure she makes the minimum.[/quote] This is the law but a consistent issue has been the some restaurants are shady and don't make up the difference, or require workers to petition for the difference. This was one of the purposes of I-82, to eliminate this dynamic and make it harder for shady restaurants to exploit workers who are afraid to speak up when they don't get paid minimum wage. The restaurant industry (and other businesses that rely on tipped workers) is pretty notorious for having bad actors. Lots of restaurants are responsible employers but lots are not. The industry does not self-police so we need more regulation to prevent worker abuse.[/quote]
