You have to report your tips.  They tally up the tips plus what you would 
earn at minimum wage and tax that total.  Quite frequently, if you are good, 
you will make more in tips than your minimum wages will cover in taxes!

It's all part of the trickle up, oops, sorry, I mean trickle down theory, 
Doncha know <g>

servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public."  Theordore
