it is a violation not to make up the difference. They are not proposing blanket minimum wages, there would still be distance between wait minimum and minimum.

I always wonder about the honesty of wage stats about tipped workers. It is standard practice in the restaurant business for wait staff to only report enough tips to bring them to minimum wage to avoid paying taxes on the tips.
