Where did I say they aren't legally required to pay taxes on earned income?
Yes, I am aware tax fraud is illegal. That doesn't change the fact that not declaring at least a portion of cash tips is quite common (probably done by a huge majority of tipped employees), and can be done easily by working somewhere else. Just being realistic about what will actually happen.
Didn't even think of it initially but the lack of daily cash payment would be an issue for anyone with experience too.
