Put another way: Restaurant-workers/servers/bartenders make minimum wage + tips. However, the employer is allowed to steal the first (minimum wage - $2.15)/hr in tips.
If we keep raising the minimum non-tipped wage but not the minimum tipped wage, eventually restaurants will be fully-pocketing the tips.
