ShadowPouncer, 10 months ago To be real clear, the only thing this does is screw over the hourly employees trying to survive on tips. It does absolutely nothing to the business, they don't care, at all. It doesn't impact them in the slightest. Yes, by law, if someone makes so little in tips that they would be getting paid below minimum wage the business is supposed to make up the difference. Assuming that happens for the entire shift. In practice, by all accounts... That pretty much never happens.
