In the restaurant world, the employer would have to make up the difference and ensure their employees make minimum wage if tips aren't enough. While that's still not satisfactory (to me, at least), it at least guarantees that a slow shift, or a lousy-tipping, long-staying, large-group table won't push you down to $2.13/hour level income (though minimum wage doesn't get you much more).
