I think it is absolutely ridiculous that in the US some servers basically work for free for their "employer", and rely on the customer tipping to make money.

I believe this was a loophole to pay below minimum wage.
And successive Republican administration always blunt any attempt to raise the minimum wage, yet tax cuts are no problem since that is borrowed money and the burden is distributed.
Also the minimum wage varies from state to state. Alabama is at $7.25 whereas California is at $16.00. But in Santa Clara county, the minimum wage is $20.00
