“Bare minimum service” deserves “bare minimum wage”. Bare minimum wage is $7.25/hr.
Tipped workers earn as little as $2.13 per hour. So long as there are separate pay scales for tipped and non-tipped employees, tips are not for “beyond bare minimum” service. Legally, tips cover a large portion of the tipped worker’s minimum wage.
Until we eliminate the different pay scales, the bare minimum acceptable tip for bare minimum acceptable work is $5.12 per hour of the tipped worker’s time. Until we eliminate the tipped pay scale, you have two acceptable options: 1. Pay the tip; 2. Boycott businesses that use the tipped pay scale.
You do not have to pay a tip every time you are asked, but if you are not tipping, you must ensure that the workers serving are paid at least regular minimum wage. It is not acceptable to refuse a tip to someone paid as a tipped worker.
Yeah dude. I know. That is not what we are talking about here. We’re talking about asking for tips for non-service or minimal service, where no one is making the tipped worker wage.
