Not even that, being a tip-enabled position is satisfactory to reduce the minimum to 2.63, so just slap a tip jar somewhere no one can reach (but still see) and call it a day.

Every job is tip enabled by default. I think some professions would frown on receiving tips but afaik none are legally barred from receiving tips.
Last time I tried to tip a cop they threw me in jail and tried to call it bribery.

Luckily, the judge didn’t mind. /s

They call those campaign contributions where I'm from, but that's only for sheriffs and judges.
Please don't propagate misinformation like this. Even with tipped wages you still must make minimum wage including tips. The issue is people will read and believe that someone can make just a low amount of money because a position is tipped. This is incorrect.
