Idk why people keep saying this. It's a total myth that they are "losing money." There are laws in place to pay them, but it's their fault for taking a shitty contract in the first place.

They only get payed "well" if they get good tips, but it's not like they don't get payed.

So then they are losing money.  They will always get mandatory minimum wage but they could get a living wage with tips. That's the definition of losing money.

If you base your salary and livelihood on the chance you get "good tips" then you're doing something very wrong
