If nobody tips for their entire shift they will make $7.25-$15 an hour, not $2.13. That $5.12-$12.87 is just pocketed by the restaurant if they get tipped.

That’s not true. The minimum wage guarantee is by pay period, not by shift

FWIW this is completely location dependent. Where I am located in the USA waiters are paid $15 plus whatever tips.

Waiters make the same minimum wage as everyone else near me…
They only make 2.13 an hour near YOU BECAUSE YOU KEEP TIPPING AND ALLOWING THE ABUSE FROM THE COMPANIES TO CONTINUE
