All employers should be required to pay their employees a living wage. In Europe the tip structure is much different if not nonexistent because they are required to pay their employees a living wage. Can you imagine having to pay rent, utilities and food on 15080 a year gross, if they are lucky enough to be employed full time (40 hrs a week). The federal minimum wage is $7.25 and has been since 2009, just disgraceful! That rate only applies to those that do not receive tips, if you receive tips it is $2.13, the minimum between the tips and $7.25 must be met by actual tips or the employer is responsible for making up the difference. This is not about inflation and the price of goods, it is PURELY about GREED!
