☆ The era of America's subminimum wage for tipped restaurant workers may be ending
▼ + stars: | 2023-09-23 | by ( Tim Mullaney | ) www.cnbc.com time to read: +12 min

After a months-long public campaign that began shortly after Mayor Brandon Johnson (right) took office in May, advocates reached a deal with restaurant industry lobbyists to phase out the tipped-minimum wage over five years. "The closest pending victory is in Chicago," said Saru Jayaraman, founder and president of the advocacy group One Fair Wage. Three-fourths said they would reduce the number of tipped workers on their payroll, and nearly half said the cuts would be significant. The $9.48 an hour wage most workers got cost the restaurant $5,449.61, he said, a fraction of the $17,198 in tips workers earned. That's one reason why the restaurant industry engaged in a kind of bidding war against itself, to find a compromise solution that politicians like Alderman Carlos Ramirez Rosa, Johnson's floor manager in the City Council, would buy.

☆ Americans hate tipping so much it was once banned in 7 states

By the 1700's, tipping in Europe had evolved from masters tipping servants to customers tipping service-industry workers. Seven states passed anti-tipping legislation in the early 1900sBy the early 1900s, early grumblings about tipping had escalated into full-fledged anti-tipping movements. But in 1919, the Iowa Supreme Court ruled that the state's anti-tipping law was unconstitutional, and other states followed by striking down or repealing their own similar legislation. Tipping persists in the US todayDespite originating in Europe, tipping has become deeply ingrained in American culture. Today, while many Americans aren't fans of tipping, and some restaurants have tried doing away with the practice, tipping is unlikely to be banned anywhere in the US anytime soon.

There’s also often an option to leave a custom tip or no tip at all. Although consumers are accustomed to tipping waiters, bartenders and other service workers, tipping a barista or cashier may be a new phenomenon for many shoppers. Others feel guilty if they don’t tip or embarrassed if their tip is stingy. One barista in Washington State said that he understands if a customer doesn’t tip for a drip coffee order. Nearly 60% of Uber customers never tip, while only about 1% always tip, a 2019 University of Chicago study found.

But more recently, a tip prompt on credit card payments has been added as well. At the same time, those disgruntled at finding a new tip prompt generally direct their pique at the wrong target. Most either express pleasure at the opportunity to better compensate Starbucks workers or outrage at the expectation of the surcharge.

To qualify, an investor needed to be a resident of the Midwest, but their firms and portfolio companies could be anywhere.

☆ With tips, restaurants can pay workers as little as $2 an hour. It's why no one's coming back to work.

He spoke with Saru Jayaraman of UC Berkeley's Food Labor Research Center about tipped workers. Women and people of color who work for tips always earn significantly "less than white, male tipped workers," Jayaraman said, "because of the biases we all carry as customers. Employer justifications for the subminimum wage tend to fall apart under the slightest examination. Restaurant workers in these seven states have for years taken home more than the federal tipped minimum wage per hour with no negative effects on the restaurant industry. The pandemic has worsened conditions for restaurant workers, and many of them have decided that the subminimum wage isn't worth the hassle.
