I was in Georgia last weekend and I learned that the general minimum wage is $7.25, with tipped workers being treated to a lofty $2.13. Two fucking bucks. That’s just 29% of the general wage, and that means the employer of a full time waiter/waitress is only on the hook for about $4,400 for the entire year. Blows my mind. Compare and contrast with Ontario, where I live, with the tipped vs general minimum wage ratio is $12.20 / $14 so about 87%.
