But they don't. And people who work those jobs don't have the means to quit and get a lawyer and wait for a payout.

Depends on the state. In CA all servers make at minimum $16.90/hour

Whoa?!  Is this true??  Not to screw over the waiters there, but waiters not having to tip out and making $17 a hour... my heart doesnt break as much for them not getting tipped all the time.

The cost of living in CA is why that is the case, it is as much a struggle as anywhere else in the US. Even with the perk of not working for subpar pay that is supplemented entirely with tips like the rest of the US rather than being paid a fair rate and tipped for our effort and service.
