联邦劳动部对有小费的小型企业如何实施最低工资的州法和联邦法解释如下：
elaws - employment laws assistance for workers and small businesses - Fair Labor
The Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) requires payment of at least the federal minimum wage to covered, nonexempt employees. An employer of a tipped employee is only required to pay $2.13 an hour in direct wages if that amount plus the tips received equals at least the federal minimum wage, the employee retains all tips and the employee customarily and regularly receives more than $30 a month in tips. If an employee's tips combined with the employer's direct wages of at least $2.13 an hour do not equal the federal minimum hourly wage, the employer must make up the difference.

中国本来就有媚上奉承的土壤。此鸡一杀，马屁猴遍地。此风一开，宦官弄臣群起。其结果是小人遍地，奸臣当道。亩产万斤就是这么来的，右派就是这么打的。
