    Left side has an hourly rate that’s almost always less than minimum wage. This is allowed because of the assumed tip income.

    This part depends on the state, thankfully. Seems phased out on most of the West coast, to my knowledge. I know it’s still pretty widespread in the south.

      Being phased out in DC too. That said, the transition period has been rough, many places are now using service fees to cover the costs, which makes sense but the fact that it’s still so inconsistent causes great annoyance.

      Then again, so do tipping expectations, what exactly am I paying for? Can I opt out? What legally constitutes a tipped employee? WHY ARE THERE TIPPING OPTIONS AT FAST FOOD PLACES NOW!?

      Overall, a clusterfuck that I’m happy to see is dying out, (I’ve also heard that it’s racially and sexually unjust.)
