OP is right, and the users on Lemmy are salty. Waiters make $2.13 / hour they survive off tips. If you don’t tip, the system doesn’t change, you’re just an asshole
If nobody tips for their entire shift they will make $7.25-$15 an hour, not $2.13. That $5.12-$12.87 is just pocketed by the restaurant if they get tipped.
Listen dude, that’s average wage. If you got stiffed one night out of the week, you’re SOL that night and you made $2.13 / hour. If you make less than $7.25 hourly in a pay period then you’ll be brought up to minimum wage, but in any given night, servers only make $2.13 hourly without tips.

Waiters make the same minimum wage as everyone else near me…
They only make 2.13 an hour near YOU BECAUSE YOU KEEP TIPPING AND ALLOWING THE ABUSE FROM THE COMPANIES TO CONTINUE

That’s not true. The minimum wage guarantee is by pay period, not by shift
