Even that doesn't make sense. Why is the customer responsible for providing a bonus to employees? It's fucking asinine.

it’s not a bonus. it’s their entire pay.

In most of Canada servers get minimum wage, plus get tips on top of that usually the top tip machines start at 20%

There is a base pay if tips dont cover it. Tips subsidize the employer not the employee, and then yes, anything above that is essentially a bonus

Yes their hourly pay is extremely low because of the expectation of being tipped. But if their hourly wage plus the tips they received do not bring them up to minimum wage, their employer must pay them the difference. Waitstaff always make at least minimum wage no matter what.

Granted, minimum wage in most states is far too low but a lot of people believe waitstaff doesn't make minimum wage, which just isn't true

It's your personal servant, you want to play the pauper you tip.
