Back in December, we reported on the Trump administration's proposed changes to tip-pooling regulations that would allow employers to pocket servers' tips as long as the employees continue to make minimum wage. That's right: Employers could take servers' tips and just dole out the minimum wage. But wait, it gets worse!

Turns out, the Department Of Labor knew how crappy this would make life for restaurant employees. This Bloomberg Law article, citing sources within the agency, reveals that the Department Of Labor knowingly buried its own data that showed restaurant workers would lose billions of dollars in gratuities under the new proposal.

    wealthy patron generally tip substantially lower than most.

    A wealthy person knows that wealth is not accumulated by spending, on the contrary. Otherwise chances are that person won't stay wealthy for long.

    A wealthy person can also afford to spend money more freely.

    A wealthy person who spends too much money becomes poor, a poor person who spends too much money becomes dead.
