If we tip for one drink when it’s two-for-one, is that enough?

The minimum wage in Florida is $10 per hour, but that doesn't include "tipped" employees.
Paying waitstaff workers $6.85 an hour assures two things: constant turnover and mediocre service. Something better comes along and they're out the door, and who can blame them? Much better to pay them more per hour, $10 or even higher. Probably more economical for the restaurant in the long run, cutting turnover costs and assuring more competent service (and thus more return business).
