The only real life issue is the server who isn't making enough money to hire a lawyer, to hire an employment lawyer. Most companies realize that very few can do that, and even then the amount post attorney will not be enough to offset being able to find work in the industry without moving beyond local owners talking circles.
its at this point in the long economic cycle that unions are the only answer, but companies like Starbucks will just shut down the stores in the area and the union is worthless.
so pay tips in cash to give the server the best argument for keeping it
