God I love it
The comments are quite amusing.

That's not true. They do not earn less than minimum wage. The restaurant can pay them less than minimum wage IF their tips plus their base hourly rate equal an hourly rate of minimum wage or more. If the server's tips plus base hourly rate are still less than minimum wage, the restaurant must pay a higher hourly rate, so that their hourly rate equals minimum wage.
