Tbh, I've never understood the tip culture. It allows restaurant owners to underpay their employees and make them live with just tips. I don't think that's fair at all.

For a waitress to make standard minimum wage ($7.25/hour) and get to keep all of her tips, how is that fair to the cooks/kitchen staff who only get paid the minimum wage, or if their lucky, a little more than minimum?

waiters don't make 7.25$ with tips, they make (on average across states) something like 2.25$ with tips added in after. That's fact
