Exactly. That should always be up to the business if I remember correctly back in the day they used to give less wages to waiters because the owners knew they would get tips

Used to? Many states have a server minimum wage that "assumes" 20% tips 100% of the time. It's completely fucked.

Currently the minimum wage for tipped employees is $2.13 which the employer pays if the employee tips bring them to minimum wage. If not they're supposed to make up the difference.

Varies by state of course. Example: Colorado, the tipped employee minimum wage is $10.63.
