What a bizarre interpretation of 'minimum wage' and 'tip'! This means that the restaurant owner essentially collects (part of) the tips? So you could employ a restaurant worker at $0/h and then bump them to minimum wage, because the tips will never cut it? Basically, you'd be collecting all the tips? This cannot seriously be legal!?

There's a separate "tipped employee" minimum wage, which must be paid by the employer regardless of tip income. Last I'd checked, though, it was only about $2/hr.
