MabusIncarnate 10/24/17 10:52:31 PM #2:	They essentially get paid $1.80 an hour. If their tips don't match federal minimum wage, the restaurant they work for pays them minimum wage for the hours worked. This is how it's supposed to be. Some places you don't report your tips at all, some combine them all and split them evenly. Some have to report all tips and have them taxed. The average weekly paycheck from their employer is literally about $15 to $35 a week, again, depending on how they run things. They do not make minimum wage pay on top of tips, they only get minimum wage pay if the tips don't exceed that weekly wage. --- Ten million dollars on a losing campaign Twenty million starving and writhing in pain <cite>MabusIncarnate posted [p:889086872] in So tips ar...

They have to create incentives for work, so if the typical standard for tipping were to change then restaurant owners would have to keep up in order to make sure people will want to work for them.
