And I thought if I did not know that the tip minimum wage in many states was $2.13 an hour, there were going to be a lot of other people who didn&#8217;t know it. So I&#8217;m going to ask the audience, how many of you came in here tonight knowing that the tip minimum wage in 17 states, if you&#8217;re not like a friend of mine and been living through this film with me, how many of you knew that? A group of you knew. How many of you had never heard of it, that there was a two &#8230; okay, that&#8217;s why I made the film.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Viewing Time 7 Minutes<br \/>\n<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><center><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/k9cgkaJGKa0\" width=\"1000\" height=\"560\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/center>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><em>Gregg W.
