Tipped restaurant and bar workers in Chicago will make $15.80 per hour through raises over the next few years as subminimum wages are banned.

Currently the subminimum wage in Chicago ranges from $9 to $9.48 an hour plus tips.

Restaurant servers and other tipped workers are paid a "subminimum wage" which acts as a base pay and is bolstered by tips.

Chicago does tips on top of the wage. That hasn't changed. So that might mean eliminating tips to some patrons.

Watch, the companies will still try to confisticate the tips though
