The real minimum wage is zero. Minimum wage increases are passed on to the customer every time. At some point the customer is no longer willing to pay for the cost and the business dies because of forced increases.

From the post:

>Denver employers will have to pay their hourly workers 52 cents more next year after the city’s minimum wage rises to $18.81 per hour on Jan. 1. For tipped workers, the minimum wage will be set at $15.79 per hour if those workers make at least $3.02 in tips per hour. City officials announced the forthcoming new rates in a news release Thursday. Until Jan. 1, employers are required to pay non-tipped workers this year’s rate of at least $18.29 per hour. The 52-cent increase — 2.84% — is the smallest increase since at least 2021, according to data available through Denver Labor, the division of the Denver Auditor’s Office that enforces city wage laws.

I've been to a few places that don't allow tipping. The prices were higher but its good to know everyone is getting paid a known and better wage than having to rely on tips. Some people probably make less because of it but others probably make a lot more so in the long run it sort of balances out unless you highly rely on tips and are one of the ones (usually young women, lets be honest) that get tipped way better.

I worked for a fast-casual restaurant with no alcohol when I was young, it was the best paying part time job i had. Made about 6.50 per hour when minimum was 4.15. Tip income is good, and changes we are seeing to this tip regime (immigrants and blacks, basically) is going to financially crush people that were making ends meet pre fauxvid.
