Checkers in the supermarket make a larger wage than waiters and waitresses who often have to share their tips. Supermarket work is not to be dismissed but I'll take that job over waitressing and waitering any day of the week, PARTICULARLY in The Villages.
Restaurants where wait staff earn a six figure income and very far and in between.

I believe your $2 number should be closer to $11 but your point is still valid. Florida's minimum wage, which employers must ensure tipped employees receive even if some of it is in tips, is $14 in 2025. This comes out to close to $28,000/year, a far cry from $160,000.
