Some states allow restaurants to pay significantly below the minimum wage, with tips to comepensate. If the employee doesn't reach minimum wage with tips added in, the business has to pay the difference. So in effect you aren't actually giving them extra pay but instead paying the business so they can lower wages. It's scummy as all fuck.

Some, not all. I admittedly have no clue which is more common.

I'm objectively not wrong. It may be less common than I'm thinking, but it's a common practice. Hell, Postmates just had a lot of controversy about doing this, tips given through the app would go towards paying their wage instead of being in addition to it.

Nah I agree with Tilly on this one. They should be paid the same wages regardless of tips. That should be 100% at the discretion of the customer if they'd like to tip and shouldn't be compulsory because they are paid slave wages.
