Oh great...minimum wage (lol)
At least something in hellscape USA
Yeah, how does that work, the other states don't require paying the "minimum wage"? Then that's demonstrably not the minimum wage eh, if an employer can pay less?
Generally speaking, in states where the tipped minimum wage is lower than the standard, the employer is required to pay the difference if the tips do not meet that minimum. It's a fucked practice, but that's how they justify it.
As others have said, these European tourists aren't helping the system by doing this.
They are however, getting to enjoy acting like the very worst Americans - the ones who don't tip and feel smug about it.
Wow keep it up
But Europeans do tip. It's considered good manners to round up the bill (5-10%).
