My state is listed in the “required to pay full minimum wage” category. Good to know.

As I recall, restaurants can get by with giving workers well below minimum wage because of tips.

There’s been a small movement towards going tipless that hasn’t yet caught on because tip culture is primarily backed by greed. Restaurant owners want customers to pay their employees directly instead of providing them with a decent wage.

I know I’m likely misrepresenting, but that’s the gist as I see it, and until greed goes away everything @dandroid@dandroid.app said holds true.

I have a feeling that most of the people who would have migrated to lemmy from reddit have already done it. July 1 will just be a send off.
