Do you know for a fact that restaurants automatically assume a certain amount of tip for the purposes of meeting the required $8.05/hour figure for salary plus tips? In other words, can they just say the gap between $5.03/hour and $8.05/hour was met without some documentation? If so, the law would essentially have no meaning.

Perhaps you could tip the server twenty percent in cash and then go to the manager and demand that twenty percent be deducted from your tab since you don't believe you should be helping to pay the server's salary, regardless of how good the service was.

Thank goodness your wife is a bit more understanding and generous. Blessings to her.
