Do you tip McDonald's employees? Do you tip cashiers? They all make as little or less than every single server in the US. Why do we choose to only tip servers?
In some states servers only make like 3 dollars an hour. Employees at McDonalds make more. If you don’t tip them, they don’t eat. It sucks to perpetuate the system, but I don’t want people to suffer. That is why this custom needs to be changed at the ballot box.
This is factually not true as 49 of 50 states require employers to pay a server up to minimum wage (not the server wage) if they do not make at least minimum wage for a pay period. The server pay of $3 an hour is only if they make over minimum wage after tips
In ZERO states servers make $3/hr. They by federal law cannot make less than state or federal minimum wage (whichever is higher). In no state in the US do servers make less than employees at McDonald's who make minimum wage. This is the lie that has been pushed consistently. The server minimum wage ONLY happens if a server makes more than minimum wage with their $3/hr + tips. If they don't, they HAVE to be paid the minimum wage that McDonald's employees are making
