They can still get tips, but folks won't be guilted into it under the

Hopefully, the Federal minimum for regular and tipped employees will be
raised this year.

Employees are required to pay them more if their tips don't bring
them up to $7.25/hour.  Still a pittance, especially considering
how hard they work and what they have to put up with.

Let's see some server jobs available near me.

$14-$20/hour
$14-21/hour
$15-$50/hour
$20-35/hour
$15-25/hour

Now, maybe there's some kind of bait-and-switch, where these are
estimates that include tips.

Shit, McDonald's is offering $17/hour for "Crew Team Member" jobs.
