In practice a waiter who's taking home less than minimum wage will quit before they even get fired. Think about this critically. If waiters were in practice making less than $25 for an 8 hour day as those $2.xx/hr figures would suggest, why would they keep the job? Why is it that in America being a waiter is considered a MUCH better job than bagging groceries? Why is it that pretty people wait tables and ugly people sweep floors? Its because regardless of what you think of the system, they're taking home considerably more than the minimum wage. Obviously.
