Weeg, I honestly don't have a list with wage tables for each restaurant that I visit.

Don't restaurants have to obey minimum wages? If they do, the waiters earn just like everyone else. If they don't, then why the f don't they?

    In most places wait staff only need to be paid the minimum wage if their next-to-nothing wage plus tips doesn't exceed minimum wage.

    The issue is: why are restaurants not paying their staff "proper" wages? Why are they the outlier, subsidised by customers?

    If I eat at a restaurant, I already know I need to tip to make up the embarrassing gap between what the restaurant pays them and what a proper wage would be. Just raise your stupid prices to account for that and let me not do math after I eat.

    But no, the Great Unwashed love a good illusion, so posting the actual price of a meal will drive them away. Adult society is full of toddlers.
