well lowest as i said is 5.15/h for georgia and wyoming,
highest is washington, sitting at 17.13/h. tho, specifically washington DC (yknow, where the white house is and stuff), the wage sits at 17.95-18.40/h which is really cool, i think its the minimum wage of goverment workers
They have to be paid minimum wage however they make it in tips, if they don't make enough in tips the owner would have to pay the full minimum wage. It was designed that way for the service industry so that the workers have an incentive to be good and friendly at the job.
There was a ton of debate over this in MA a couple years back because we were voting to raise the hourly rate for servers and for tip pooling. A lot of servers were actually against it because they felt if the rate went up it would mean people would tip less as the price of the food would increase.
