You are only saying that the wait staff should be paid at $2.13 per hour to serve you.
This is not true in my state at all
They get paid base that’s above federal minimum wage.
But you are right, I ain’t got to go out to eat so barely do it anymore due to these parasitic tactics of the owners and strong feeling of entitlement from the wait staff to be tipped 20% or more.
Oh, yeah, that’s a fair addendum: “unless you live in a state that does not allow the reduced minimum wage for tipped employees.” At that point I would agree that tipping is more or less optional.
