It shouldn’t, no. But there’s a $2.13 an hour minimum wage for tipped employees. Employers have to fill the gap to $7.25 if tips don’t cover it, but the simple matter is the law facilitates the expectation customers pay tips.
In some states, if reported tips don’t make up the gap between the tipped minimum and regular minimum then the employer is required to cover the difference.
Dude don’t be an ass you know what I am saying. 43 states don’t do what you’re talking about. 7 do. That’s not “many” and many of don’t live in those places.
I mean, I don’t. I know people who have had to work terrible jobs serving food because there are work requirements to their medicaid benefits and such.
It’d be great if exploitative jobs were eliminated. But the legal minimum is generally what the market pressures businesses to run with.

7 States and DC don’t have a tipped minimum wage.
In CA it’s $15.50 currently with our without tips.
43 states do.

Uh huh.
So stop working those jobs.
You’re literally agreeing to work for $2.13 an hour. Would you do that at any other job? Fuck no!
Anything else you get is just kindness.

It’s not always a choice
There’s always a choice. Nobody HAS to work in a restaurant for tips
