If the concern is that the workers should be paid minimum wage, if workers aren’t tipped, the employer is required to pay minimum wage.
I believe that California requires that employers pay the full minimum wage regardless of tips. So if a waiter is making $25 an hour in tips, they still get the minimum wage of $16.50 an hour.
If you go to California do you tip less?

Why aren't all "employees" getting paid in full by their [/B]employers[/B]. Why are we giving extra money to people who have a job and an income. Where is the employee loyalty if the customer pays a greater portion of the employees income. Earlier I said our waitress this evening at a local Villages restaurant, got a $20 for our meal, and about the same from other couple at our table. She had 5 tables I could see. Three tables of 4 and two tables of 6. $40 from our table and, presumably, the same from the other 4 tables. That could reasonably be $200 p/h.
$200 per hour? In TIPS! If the waitress isn't getting every dollar we gave to her, who is?
