re: Progressives May Delay Sending $1,400 Stimulus Checks in Fight for Minimum Wage Hike

But as a former server that paid his own way through college on tips, I think it should be pointed out that waiters and waitresses make below minimum wage hourly, and still would after this. There's an exception in place for people who work for tips, they're paid below minimum wage.

And that is because when tips are factored in, you're getting minimum wage or better. That's why they are allowed to pay less than minimum wage. So don't act like servers get less than minimum wage. That's simply not true at all. What restaurants have to pay servers is still going to double.
