MODERATORS
Minimum wage shouldn't be a dollar amount, it should be a living amount defined in a reasonable and realistic way. (Probably should be region dependent, too?)
States do have their own minimums. Washington State for example, is tied to the federal Consumer Price Index and it's at $16.28..
It's not clear whether you're suggesting that tipped workers aren't guaranteed the normal minimum wage.

EDIT: The above comment was completely different at the time I wrote this.
Some states, including Washington have prohibited the tipped minimum wage: https://chicagopolicyreview.org/2023/04/25/behind-usas-tip-culture-a-workaround-for-employers-to-escape-minimum-wage-payments/
