What's a "huge" minimum wage? Isn't that an oxymoron?

I'm sorry but I think 9-10 bucks an hour for entry level work that anyone can do is very high.

I get tired of people saying that waiters don't make a lot of money. Sure some waiters might have a bad shift.
But they can make a killing. Let's say you serve 4 customers in an hour, you can easily make $10-$100 on top of the base pay. At the lowest end, I may be making slightly above their hourly wage, and on the high end, they are making more than most people.
Sure it averages out, an sometimes they have to tip out other people, but you can make a killing at it. I know I did when I was waitressing. And it's not that hard either. I'm quick on my feet, attractive, and have a good short term memory and I can multitask. It was easy!!!
On the other hand, being a cashier was hard. And no ever tipped me. My job can be very hard and no one tips me.
I tip generously, but I do find it distasteful that I feel obligated to tip even when service is so mediocre I.e., having to ask for water, not allowing the female to order first, not knowing which side to serve from, rushing me, etc...

I haven't eaten out in about ten years. But the tax on the meal had no bearing on the tip I left.
