1 year agoThe federal minimum wage for tipped workers is $2.13/hr. Basically nothing. It wouldn’t cover your gas cost to go to work in most cases.

Of course no one said anything. That would be rude. But not tipping your server is very much an asshole move, foreign or not. Those service industry workers rely on the tips because their wages are basically nothing. I agree that they should be paid a fair wage but that’s just not how it works here in the US.
Where’s all the game developer communities?
We door dash for extra money. If not for tips, it wouldn’t be worth it. They do offer an hourly rate if you choose to take it vs being paid per order but I’m not sure how that all works, we always take the per order pay.
