The thing I don’t understand is that even in states that have better minimum wages, the same tips are still expected.
California has the same minimum wage for both tipped and non-tipped jobs, yet one person working a minimum wage job can be paid significantly more than someone also working a minimum wage job, just because they work in a position that’s customarily tipped.

Don’t those laws have caveats for tipped jobs, so the businesses don’t have to pay their employees minimum wage?

Not in California.

Alaska, California, Minnesota, Montana, Nevada, Oregon, and Washington state all have the same minimum wage for both tipped and non-tipped jobs.
A few other states have a tipped minimum wage that’s lower than their regular minimum wage, but still higher than the $2.13/hr federal minimum.
