Servers make a liveable wage being tipped 20% in nice establishments. If you go down to minimum wage it’ll ruin the entire job. You’d have to work 40 hour work weeks to make half what you used to make in 15-25 hours. People will just stop doing the job and do something else, all service will be bad for the most part because it won’t make a difference wether you work hard or not. mom and pop shops will suffer more and only the chains / well off places will thrive. People say owners are greedy for not paying servers enough but the servers make their own money same way a realtor gets a commission off a house sale.
