    Minimum wage is a federal statute. Certain tipped employees are exempt from the law. The hourly wage that servers make is usually entirely consumed in income taxes before the check is even issued. The only money they "take home" is garnered through Tips. Even some of that is usually due back in April (if not withheld by their employer) as the $2.13 hourly wage is not enough to cover anywhere near their entire tax obligation for a year.

    I would be shocked if your friends are actually making $7.25 an hour working at the type of restaurants you described. $2.13 an hour is an industry standard as far as I know.

    You potentially screwed yourself from getting quality service there again. If she sees you, she will tell your waiter. Not a good move.

    Some people are still responding to Buzzy like he was describing an event which actually took place in his life.

    No, my younger brother works at one of the nicest hotels on the coast as a waiter in their dining room and he makes proper minimum wage as there are no exemptions in California for people who accept gratuities. Everyone who's legally employed in the state must make at least our minimum wage of $8/hour, which is precisely what my brother is paid. Certain metro areas in California then enact "living wages" which supercede state law and increase the minimum wage within city/metro limits to compensate for very high costs of living in certain parts of California. The City/County of San Francisco has a living wage of $9.79/hour and Santa Cruz has the highest in the state at $12/hour (only offered to those who don't receive health insurance from their employer, those who get health benefits can be paid $8/hour).
