Exactly. I don't know of anyone who waits tables just to meet minimum
wage with salary + tips. It is usually much more than that in a decent
place. I waited tables for a few years back in my younger days when
salary was only about $2 or less per hour. Tips were the only way to
make any money at all. Tips could equal even more than $200 per day on
good days. Weekends even better.
