Wow. A royal $5.23 an hour.

Notice that they are assumed to receive tips or $3.02 an hour, whether they do or not. (This is because it is known that some people tip in cash, which the server might not report to management.)

The employer is required to pay $5.23 an hour, not the Florida minimum wage of $8.25 an hour.

A person who is stingy with tips should get cold comfort from the fact that the server would get $5.23 an hour anyway.
