Have you ever waited tables? Oh wait, forgot who I was talking to. Most waitstaff in a decent restaurant make significantly more than minimum wage, and I would dare argue that waiting tables is one of the most lucrative "entry level" jobs out there.
That, or it is just another ploy by the man to keep Americans down. Take your pick.

Re: Business Innovation vs Social Convention
I worked as a cook in a high dollar country club about 13 years ago, and it was one of those country clubs where you had to spend a specific amount of money at the pro shop or the restaurant per month. The waitstaff there made 3.50$/hr and their tips weren't much to look at. The people only ate at the restaurant because they had to, and sadly, they tipped very poorly. I felt terrible for those employees and would always sneak them some misplaced orders and banquet leftovers..
