Anyone else find it deceptive when a company advertises a job at a certain pay rate and then it turns out the pay is factoring in the “tips” you’ll supposedly make?

A friend of mine recently went to an interview for a cashier job that was advertised for $18 an hour. Once they went to the interview, they were told the rate of pay is actually $13 an hour but everyone is expected to make “at least $5 an hour in (pooled) tips.” The location they applied at isn’t even open yet and all the other locations are out of state so I feel it’s pretty deceptive to advertise a job this way. I’ve been out of customer service/restaurants for years but when I was working in that business, the tips I made were never as much they claimed I’d receive in the interview.
