In theory employers are supposed to make up the difference if tips don't meet minimum wage. But it's infamous for being poorly enforced.

I agree that is a problem. I suspect it's receding as the percentage of restaurant sales paid by credit card increase.

People who dine at restaurants that likely commit wage theft might tip for moral reasons, but to me, it makes more sense to boycott those restaurants and communicate to managers and owners the reason why.
