    Waiters and waitresses still get paid minimum wage (not tipped minimum) if their tips and wages are less than minimum wage.

    Well, they’re supposed to at least.

      Supposed to is the important part there, wage theft is depressingly common.

        Definitely true, which is why I included that line.

        But, the truth is that if you’re not doing well enough as a server to hit minimum wage in tips, you’re probably going to get let go anyways. It’s stupid easy to get minimum wage in tips.
