A lot of good points.

I only hope that states can agree on legislature that _ensures_ that they can at least make a livable wage from it.

This is just anecdotal, but I know of a restaurant that pays their workers the $2.13/hr minimum for Tennessee, and they assuredly do not reach TN's $7.25/hr minimum wage with tips.

This place can only get away with it because there's a steady supply of college students throughout the year who are desperate for any job that comes their way; the high turnover rate doesn't hurt them in the least.
