You do realize that their pay is ratcheted down so that if they get the tip level the social mavens insist upon they will then achieve minimum wage?
Take it a step further. If they don’t get tips, the employer is required to make up the difference to meet the federal minimum wage standard. It is in the best interest of the establishment to have employees that receive tips that result in their income meeting or exceeding the minimum wage. When it exceeds it, the employer is only required to pay the $2.13 per hour.
Excellent point. I made a comment outlining that further down the thread, but sadly, it was full of typos. Thanks for making that clear and concise.
