International comparison
I've never heard of this before - we don't have it in the UK. Any tips are in addition to salary, the latter of which must at least meets the minimum wage. In the arguments for and against, I'd be curious to see an international comparison that mentioned how many and what kind of other countries had this system, or even a link to a page about this topic.

 * I think this is unique to the US. I've renamed the article accordingly; see WP:INUSA. --BDD (talk) 17:56, 18 June 2018 (UTC)

Description of the Connecticut tipped minimum is confusing
I do not understand the current entry in the State table for Connecticut. I'm not from there and don't know the ground truth, but the Minimum Tipped Wage column says the tipped minimum is $12.00 while the Notes column says that there is a tipped minimum that is less than that.

Also, I don't know what it means by saying that the "Hotel/Restaurant minimum wage" is $6.38. Does it mean the $6.38 wage applies to people who work in tipped occupations in hotels, to include servers in restaurants when and only when those restaurants are located in hotels, or does it mean that the $6.38 wage applies to people who work in tipped occupations in hotels and to people who work in tipped occupations in restaurants (meaning all restaurants anywhere)? If the latter, then I think it should say "Hotel and restaurant minimum wage." --Will Patrol Tonight (talk) 20:06, 16 February 2021 (UTC)

Restaurant Industry Lobbyist Positions presented as facts
The “experts” section is clearly just lobbyist propaganda being presented as fact. 174.87.29.94 (talk) 18:10, 5 June 2022 (UTC)


 * I must agree with you, and must also add that most of the data on this page is either paid for by one single person/firm and that some of the sites listed at references are no longer around to verify. The "Debate on consequences" section isn't about debate, it's all information from one side of the argument and that person's lobbyist front organizations so that he can win the argument. For example: reference 13. is an unsecure web address but it's not in service any longer. Reference 14 is about a study that was made about how workers love getting paid less to make sure the industry stays in business and it comes from "Non-profit" Front Group Employment Policies Institute, which is a front organization run by Managing Director Michael Saltsman, however he is a Partner in the Public Relations firm Berman & Company on top of being the Director of EPI. Berman & Co. is Owned and run by Richard (Rick) Berman who has lobbied and represented many of the Industries that have cause CONSIDERABLE harm and damage to this country, like the and also Berman has earned the nicknames "Dr. Evil," the "Conservatives' Weapon of Mass Destruction" and the "Astroturf Kingpin" for his repeated use of the strategy of forming dozens of non-profit front groups, attack-dog websites, and alleged think tanks that defend his corporate clients' interests by attacking their critics, allowing his paying clients to remain out of public view. Berman & Co.'s many front groups work to counteract minimum wage campaigns, keep wages low for restaurant workers, and to block legislation on food safety, secondhand cigarette smoke, and drunk driving and more. Since 2013, Berman and his Employment Policy Institute "think tank" have led a national fight against campaigns to raise the minimum wage and to provide paid sick leave for workers with renewed attacks on proponents (including the Center for Media and Democracy, publisher of SourceWatch), misleading reports, op-eds, TV and radio ads, and more, as reported by the New York Times. The New York Times has also reported that he "receives millions of dollars from business" in order to wage these campaigns.
