The only place tipping even makes sense is at a sit down restaurant, and only after excellent service has been given. Tipping for simply completing your defined job responsibilities is absurd.
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
