The ones who need a living wage the most are not going to get it.

Waiters, including tips, barely make over $11 an hour in Chicago according to the Chicago Tribune And hotel housekeepers are also considered tipped workers. They make practically nothing off tips.

Just another way to transfer wealth from the poor worker to rich owners. This is very unfair.
