CHICAGO, ILLINOIS - AUGUST 18: Eden Austin waits on customers at the Same Day Cafe in the Logan Square neighborhood on August 18, 2023 in Chicago, Illinois. The city of Chicago is debating whether to continue the practice of paying waitstaff at restaurants a sub-minimum wage plus tips. Currently, the minimum wage in Chicago is $15.80 for larger businesses, while waitstaff is allowed to be paid a minimum wage of $9.48 with the remainder being earned with tips. If their wages plus tips don't average the $15.80 standard minimum wage, their employer is required to make up the difference. (Photo by Scott Olson/Getty Images)
