Then why does the federal government allow restaurants to pay their waitstaff $2.13/hr? Because I'm classified as a tipped employee. In this state, that's $3.02 below minimum wage for non-tipped employees.

If I didn't expect to make any tips "just because I'm a server," my restaurant would pay me much more per hour, and the government would make my $2.13/hr illegal.
