       Heard about some law being passed in (I think) Pennsylvania that would do something about minimum wage for tipped workers. I thought "Finally, tipped workers will also get the minimum wage also!" And listened intently to hear that they have raised the amount of tips that they need to receive monthly before they are permitted to be paid even less! Let's see, if we pay them this much, then they get tipped too much, we can take the wages back. This is theft of tips by legal means! (Charlimit..)

       https://www.phillyvoice.com/tipped-worker-minimum-wage-employee-pennsylvania-labor-industry/There's the story. Limit was $30, they raised the limit to $135. I guess in a way this is like saying "if you're called a tipped employee, but you don't actually get any tips, your employer must pay you minimum wage" so thats not as bad as I originally heard it.I still hate the reduced minimum wage for tipped employees, though. Still think that's theft of tips by the employer, through indirect means. Tips should be a bonus, not your whole source of income.

       @psyklax The "tipped minimum" makes a mockery of BOTH minimum wages AND tipping.
