I propose we raise the minimum wage for all employees, AND index to inflation. It's ludicrous to pay tipped employees half the "minimum" wage. These are some of the hardest working people out there.(And no I do not work in a restaurant.) I was making more than $2.65 an hour at a gas station in 1972.
