Agreed. And its definitely not an excuse to pay less than minimum wage.
Legally, even waiters/waitresses are guaranteed the regular minimum wage. Whether through tips or the employer making up the difference.
I believe on average, most of them make a lot more than minimum wage. If we took away tipping and allowed employers to pay the minimum wage, they'd actually make less. They'd also have to pay taxes on all of it.
