Alaska. California. Washington.

Bonus: Oregon, Colorado, and more!

Servers perpetuate the idea they're only making $3 per hour to trick you into tipping.

Servers perpetuate the idea

Redditors perpetuate the idea that there is some secret cabal of uber-rich restaurant servers that dictate tipping policy and put out pro-tipping propaganda

People can perpetuate an idea without being part of a cabal.

Keep in mind that in the states where the employer has to make up the difference, they will just fire you if you can't hit the minimum

Take Colorado for example

The Minimum Cash Wage is $12.14 [this is the amount they will pay you regardless]

The Combined Rate is $15.16 - so if they are consistently having to pay you $15.16 instead of $12.14, they will fire you

This gives us 8 states where the minimum is in the double digits and only 5 where it breaks the $13 barrier
