Tips. How ridiculous is it that restaurant owners guilt us into paying their employees salaries because they are too cheap to pay them a living wage? How unjust is it that we chose to tip the people who bring our food from the kitchen to our table and leave the hundreds of other service workers without tips?

    A better understanding will flow from knowing that federal minimum wage for tipped employees is $2.13 per hour.

    So there is specific legislation in place to abuse restaurant workers, restaurant owners take full advantage of this.

    Here, the minimum wage for servers is $17.20, same as any other worker.
