Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but with regards to waitstaff, I always understood if you did not make enough in tips per pay period to equal minimum wage, the restaurant is supposed to make up the difference.

I've worked four different waitressing jobs in my life and not once did I ever not make minimum wage with tips. And these weren't all big fancy, schmancy restaurants. My first job (at age 14) was at a local, small-town restaurant where some nights I was happy to walk out with $10 in tips, but our Sunday Brunch more than made up for those nights. And we ALWAYS claimed our tips on taxes. Always.
