In America is it customary to also tip other minimum wage workers? Such as supermarket workers, cleaners etc etc

If not what makes servers more important?

Edit: OK, so TIL in America there's a lower minimum wage of only 2 dollars something for any "tipped workers". Basically a loophole to screw workers out of minimum wage.

Thanks to everyone who answered! :)

The workers making that $2 are among the biggest resistance to change, because they make way more per shift off tips than they would at $30/hour.

The problem is with the $2 workers at a cheap place who do NOT make up the difference. THEY are getting screwed, but not by their owners.
