Many states pay foodservers less than minimum wage too.  They figure "hey, you get tips, so uh... fuck you, you're getting half or a third of minimum wage, and you better hope you make the difference in tips, and if you have a bad day where you don't get too many tips, well, fuck off and die."  Luckily I'm in California where that's illegal.

How's the Californian economy coming along?

You aren't blaming the laws on waiters and waitresses for California's economy are you?

No, but California is famously a fairly liberal state, the waiters/waitresses legislation being an example... I'm blaming the overly progressive nature of California on California's economy.
