If a waiter makes less than minimum wage from tips, the restaurant has to make up the difference. In these situations, the restaurant's margins are so thin that they'd be receiving minimum wage anyways.

That does not change the "some are doing great" argument.

What do you mean? As I illustrated. There is a lot of potential upside with taking a tipped wage, but little downside.

Pull the minimum up, and yes it improves. Without it? No.

That’s shifting the goal posts. All waiters/waitresses make at least the minimum wage (by US law) and the better ones make way more.

And yes, that is a SOME are doing well argument.

Most are not. Minimum wage = struggling overall.

Pointing to a minority making real bank as justification for current policy that leaves a majority struggling does not make sense.
