Huh? Employers are not required to pay waitstaff minimum wage now.
Many restaurants pay no wage at all yet highly experienced wait people
line up at the door for those jobs... a good wait person in many four
star restaurants can easly earn six figures just from tips... a good
drink server in Vegas can easly do better than many CEOs, and I mean
from legitimate tips, not on their knees.
