History of tipping


3:11 tipping gained traction in the US when businesses wanted to pay emancipated slaves nothing, and have them live off tips alone. 

4:04 it even went so far as charging workers for the privilege of working for tips. 

6:14 some 43 states have a "tipped minimum wage," or "subminimum wage" that remains unchanged since the 1990's at $2.13 an hour. 

7:12 black women get tipped less than white males working the same shift in the same area of the same restaurant
