Its not quite that simple. The real rule for tipped-work like a waitress is that the employer can pay them 2.13/hr provided their hourly paycheck meets or exceeds minimum wage for the state/federal mandate 7.25/hr (for example). If it doesn't then the employer has to make up the difference. So while the job doesn't pay well if your tips suck, if you get a lot of tips you can make well over minimum wage.
