Restaurant? You’re suggesting restaurants are paying people more when there’s a separate, even lower minimum wage for service employees expecting tips?
Many states have higher minimum wage. Here it’s $15/hr. That’s probably not enough for a high cost of living area but my teen just got a summer job for $18/hr, so employers are paying more
7.25 an hour is the national minimum? That’s shocking. It’s about 5 quid in UK money. Apprentices or under 18s get paid way more than that.
No one here in the states are actually paying the minimum wage. Most of the time, it’s at least $11-12 an hour depending on the restaurant.

The actual wage is higher than that, based on market prices but there are a number of government related things that use minimum wage.
