To be fair, employers in US states that still have a separate tipped minimum wage are supposed to pay their employees enough to equal the actual, non-tipped, federal minimum wage if their tips don't reach that amount.

But to be unfair truthful, lots of employers illegally rip their employees off and don't actually pay that difference, and also, even our regular federal minimum wage is maybe 1/3 of a living wage in the cheapest, most dirt-poor areas of the poorest states in the country.

So glad my state doesn't have a separate tipped minimum wage and our state minimum wage is more than 2x the federal. Still not a living wage most anywhere here, but it could be so much worse.

I think tipping is great if it's in addition to a living wage for workers, as a way to show appreciation, but its roots as a way to underpay workers (mostly of color, but also just poor service workers in general) are nasty.

And fuck Uber et al for fucking over workers by misclassifying employees as contractors and fighting against fair treatment and compensation wherever they go. I hope your country keeps their gig economy bs from taking over.
