But who are you tipping, really.

In the US, there is such thing as “tipped minimum wage”. So, federal minimum wage is $7.25/hour, but the employer may pay as little as $2,13/hour themselves if the worker makes up the rest with tips.

Most extreme in Delaware. Minimum wage is $15/hour, but minimum tipped wage is just $2.23, so up to $12.77/hour in tips can just be a discount to the employer.
Why do you think tips are being pushed so much in the US? Chart per jurisdiction: www.dol.gov/agencies/whd/state/…/tipped
