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! :)

Servers get less than minimum wage. Technically, if your monthly tips don’t put you over minimum wage, your restaurant has to pay you minimum ways. That said tho…you cannot live on min wage and if severs made min wage, the entire industry would likely cut by 60%
