    Tipped jobs have a lower minimum wage than untipped jobs.

    If you give the option for customers to tip…

    Then it’s easier to underpay them (further)

      It’s baffling to me that this exception exists. There’s zero justifiable reason for it imo.

      Especially since I think it hasn’t been increased in ages. So it’s essentially an unpaid tip only job (yeah yeah I know they cover it if tips don’t make up to minimum)
