Kind of ridiculous since first shift couldn't even serve alcohol until recently and cafe tips aren't great. A former employee of Smile Tiger says Joel implemented the same system there, though a "current employee" just made a Reddit account to say they pay minimum wage plus tips and their employer is the bestest and really cares about them etc. And while we're airing dirty laundry, Monigram has a "tipping policy" where all the tips are kept by the owners in exchange for some bullshit "perks" like a staff party that employees don't want.
This is one of many reasons why I think multiple different minimum wages are a bogus concept. Unfortunately, the logical conclusion of that idea is that minimum wage is bogus in the first place, but we don’t seem to be ready for a sufficient guaranteed minimum income to make minimum wage laws redundant.

How is this not fraud? Anybody who does that should go to jail (assuming that is the penalty for fraud; I’m not actually a big fan of incarceration).
