Worth noting that waitstaff would have a lower minimum wage than cashier or shelf-stocker, with expectation that they make it up in tips, so it's not just social norm.

Not all states have a lower tipped wages though. Also should fast food workers get tipped?

Love this question because it puts the issue in very stark relief.
No, fast food workers shouldn't be tipped. No one "should" be tipped. If people are paid a living wage then scrabbling for tips becomes obsolete and tipping leaves the realm of "should" and progresses closer to its Platonic ideal of being a purely voluntary act used to express exceptional appreciation for a job well done.
