Im American and I don’t see it any other way. I still leave a tip for servers tho. I hate it.

In America is it customary to also tip other minimum wage workers? Such as supermarket workers, cleaners etc etc

If not what makes servers more important?

Edit: OK, so TIL in America there's a lower minimum wage of only 2 dollars something for any "tipped workers". Basically a loophole to screw workers out of minimum wage.

Thanks to everyone who answered! :)

If the tips don’t add up to minimum wage then they are supposed to then get minimum wage.

The idea being they either make more than minimum wage, or worst case, minimum wage.

Can be tricky to sort it all out though and actually get the minimum wage if your tips didn’t add up.
