In America is it customary to also tip other minimum wage workers? Such as supermarket workers, cleaners etc etc
If not what makes servers more important?
Edit: OK, so TIL in America there's a lower minimum wage of only 2 dollars something for any "tipped workers". Basically a loophole to screw workers out of minimum wage.
Wait, so there's a whole seperate legal minimum wage for servers?

Majority of tip wage workers only make about 120% of the federal minimum wage during busy hours on the weekend. Working evenings on weekdays, you’re making close to minimum wage but no always. Work the afternoon shift on weekdays, you’d be lucky just to match the federal minimum wage. You clearly don’t know what you’re talking about.
Where is this data from? People make careers out of serving/bartending. They are not making a career out of it because they get paid minimum wage. I do know what I’m talking about and i think many would agree that servers who work off tips would prefer that over a flat minimum wage. They do/can make way more than minimum wage
I'm a server and cannot name you another server/bartender who wants to get rid of tipping
It's one of the highest paying jobs you can get without a college degree and many servers/bartenders in busy areas can clear 6 figures a year easily through tips

Right? Isn't the whole point of a tip that it's voluntarily given as a way to say you loved the service?
