Now you must be joking. Who is asking for a $50 minimum wage? That's absurd.
The highest $tip/hr is in San Francisco where they can expect $13/hr in tips. Even adding another $10/hr wage that's only halfway to your ridiculous $50/hr number.
High end restaurants do get well-paid wait staff. But at your low end places, they could be working for as little as $2.13/hr- any additional salary must come in the form of charity from customers.
And waiters in Italy often make 8-10 euros per hour, which is about 4-5 times higher than our tip-capable minimum wage.
You do not know what the hell you are talking about.. Servers making 13hr would indicate an income to the restaurant of $65 per hr. per server. NO restaurant could survive on that.
