Re:Instacart paying 80 cents an hour because worker received...

Instacart is dynamically adjusting down wages in response to tips; restaurants have a fixed wage, with a legislated minimum — even if it accounts for average tips.
The difference is that one allows the customer to dynamically adjust the wages in response to service; while in the other the company is pocketing that variance themselves, rather than passing it on to workers.
It’s simply fraud to pretend one situation is the other — there’s a distinct and meaningful difference in who pockets tip variance.
