Is it standard in all states that serving positions get paid below min. wage since they get tips??? Never heard of this before and it sounds horrible.

I believe the law (at least in my state) is that if wages + tips < minimum wage, then the employer has to make up the difference.

Yeah, that's pretty standard. I have to wonder how the government arrived at the figure of $2.13 an hour, though. I mean, why not $2.15 or $2.00? Why make it such a weird amount?
