The majority of waitstaff do not get paid anywhere near minimum wage because it is assumed that the majority of your income will come from tips.Actually, most servers I know make less than $3.00 per hour, so you re pretty lucky at $6!
Restaurants assume that you will be earning tips which will make the difference and possibly more. I have an ex that made over 100.00 per night in tips. She only was working about 5 hours per. Her base pay was 2.85 per hour.
