We do have laws and the minimum wage that reflects $2.92 or whatever includes language that the hourly wage after tips must meet regular minimum wage. I think the issue is the federal minimum wage is very low $7-8 or so so that minimum amount is low for waiters and everyone. If you increase minimum wage, you will also enforce that minimum wage for waitstaff.
