The minimum wage for people in the resturant business is set by the same people that set the regular minimum wage, not the resturants which is currently $2.13 an hour in Jersey.
In all my time bartending and waitressing I made a good chunk of change not because people felt "obligated" to tip me but because I always did everything I did to make sure they had a great time.

Sounds perfectly reasonable and fair to me.
Except the premise that a restaurant must pay what they're told the minimum is. Thats a choice they make to pay as little as required. I'm just suggesting that a better-than $2.13/hr pay would make for a better quality wait staff, which would bring more and better people.. and whats more, the tip's would be just as good or better and... more genuine too!
