Reply to comment by TheGrandExquisitor in It is embarrassing our state still has tipped minimum wage ($6.15/hr). No one deserves to be taken advantage of and paid less than minimum wage. Tips should go directly to the employee and not subsidize the owner/corporation salary expenses. by Hot_Fruit4890

And usually your tip doesn't go entirely to your server. The waitstaff usually tips out the bartenders, bussers, and sometimes hosts/hostesses out of their pocket when they cash out for their shift. Often this doesn't mean handing over money personally, but having someone in the office either figure it out for them or just gather it all up in one place, and then the recipient picking it up later when it's all calculated.
