Little lesson to you. Just because the article says some California residents don't tip well, it doesn't say all.

* And, remember, Unlike most other states, California law prohibits employers from using tips as a "tip credit" toward the state's mandatory minimum wage, meaning tipped employees are entitled to the full minimum wage plus their tips.
