In the US, federal law allows a $2.13/hr tipped minimum wage, with tips required to reach $7.25/hr total—rooted in historical practices and industry lobbying to minimize employer costs. Europe mandates full minimum wages (e.g., €2,638/month in Luxembourg), viewing tips as bonuses. Comparable prices persist due to differing tax, labor, and operational structures; some US states like California align more closely with Europe by eliminating tipped minima.
