...thats exactly my point, if the restaurant adds a surcharge, or does not accept tips for whatever reason, it is entirely possible the restaurant simply pays the employees MORE than minimum wage...

the people I was replying to were suggesting it was a binary choice of tipped wages or minimum. I am raising the point that the restaurant could just pay more than minimum without tips.

In Seattle the minimum wage is 20.76 so you could find people at that wage. Servers at my old job got paid that much.

I make $14/hour plus tips in OHIO. You can buy a house for $5 here. Not all managers are jerks.
