According to US Dept of Labor http://www.dol.gov/esa/minwage/q-a.htm
........ there is a seperate minimum wage for tipped employees, $2.13 vs
$5.15, for workers aged 20 and over.

****If they make less, after tips, the employer has to make up the
difference**** for any enterprise that exceeds $500,000 in business a year
