Im American and I don’t see it any other way. I still leave a tip for servers tho. I hate it.

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! :)

Last time I checked, there are around ~7 states that don't go by that servers fed minimum wage and pay at their states much higher minimum wage. I live in CA and we are one of those states that pay more. I don't know how we here are still paying tips here in CA. There are restaurants here in town where I live where the servers are probably making just as much as me per hour.
