Here in Texas, state law allows for the restaurants to actually pay wait staff less than min wage because the restaurant industry actually expects people to tip the waitressNo one in this country gets payed aaaaaaaanywhere near $2 an hour, I know @Krow is just fucking around but i have to point that out for some of the foreigners. They get paid more than the minimum wage workers at stores like Rite-Aid and walgreens. Along wit thousands and thousands of other people who work jobs that the same or even less. I have friends who run bars and other business that require waiting, and believe me ... some of them make more many than you would think
The national minimum wage is $7.25 an hour, and out here in California its $11
yo @no country for old wainds hey man i've discovered some rather provocative pictures of you.![]()
....You've obviously never held a financial conversation with any who makes more in tips than their actual hourly wage

Yeah for good reason, half the workers don't deserve it and the majority of customers under the age of 35 can't work out something as simple as 10% of a bill in their heads.
I don't remember what our minimum is but I think it's somewhere around the $15 per hour mark, it might even be more. Businesses are free to pay more and there are multiple different pay grades for different staff. Some get penalty rates for working late, early or on weekend and public holidays but I think the government have either removed that as compulsory or are trying too. No one here relies on tips to survive, it's a bonus and until recently (10-15 years) it wasn't even a regular custom expect at actual sit down restaurants and even then it was never enforced or expected.

i give you, "The Filth Hounds of Britain" ....i admit, i'm intrigued
That's not why.
Our minimum wage is just over $18 an hour. That's why, waiters here earn a living wage.
Earning a living wages isn't why tipping hasn't been considered the norm. Sure some customers think they shouldn't pay tips because they think waiters and food staff get paid a wage but it was never written anywhere that "this is a living wage therefore tips are no required" because tips have been a part of the food services industry for as long as there has been a minimum wage.

we shift, call of the wild
fear in your eyes, it's deeper than you realized
We don't have a culture of tipping because we don't have an industry of waiters being underpaid which would facilitate a stronger push to expect tips. Obviously many places have and still do accept tips but the context is very different. Nobody tips food delivery workers either.
