Which should be against the law. But if the server doesn't make at least minimum wage, the employer has to pay the difference. So it already is against the law.

Of course in reality, if that server doesn't make at least minimum wage in tips and tries to claim it from their employer, they'll simply get fired.

I've had plenty of server friends who've had to do this and didn't get fired.

In larger companies where payroll is handled by software, they'll do it automatically.
