One says the same but uses the term 'service workers' and seems to be
*tipped minimum and that may be a Canadian term for it?  I don't know
Canadian laws.  Or maybe that was Ed, who mentions FL as 10.98 but
doesnt say for sure that is *tipped* wage.

Yes, that is the tipped wage by state law.

 

Ever had someone at Starbucks tell you thay you don't need to tip
because they make (insert whatever at or above mimimum they make, 20$
hr)?  No.  They love getting free money.  I don't blame them but the
USA tipping culture has gotten out of hand.
-I even got hit up at Atlanta International Airport at McDonalds for a
tip by the machine and there was no way to abort it.  I left instead.
 

I'm not sure who is at fault there.  Many of these places buy a software package to handle the CC charges.  Seems it is included to suggest a tip.  I don't know if that can be eliminated by the individual store or not.
