Tennessee has no state laws about minimum wages at all. The federal laws would apply. \nThe Federal law states that:  An employer may credit a portion of a tipped employee's tips against the federal minimum wage of $5.15 per hour. An employer must pay at least $2.13 per hour. However, if an employee's tips combined with the employer's wage of $2.13 per hour do not equal the hourly minimum wage, the employer is required to make up the difference.

Check out your state's wage and hour laws (or labor laws). They should have the specific compliance info you need.

As a waitress I ranged from $5.90/hr to $7.00/hr\nIn the retail industry now I started at $7.00/hr and am now at $10.00/hr, but that's for an assistant mgr position so it's pretty crappy too!(Canadian employed)

I should think they're both on about minimum wage.  Tips would depend on how good you are!

my girlfriend was a hostess at a chain restaurant... places like chili's and red lobster pay 8-10 an hour for hostesses where i am from... usually no experience needed.

The Federal Minimum wage is $5.15/hour.  Many states have higher minimum wage laws.  \nCheck out this site from the Dept. of Labor.  It has a map that shows which states have higher or the same minimum wage as the Federal minimum wage.  It also tells you what the minimum wage is in each state.\nhttp://www.dol.gov/esa/minwage/america.htm

Minimum wage, likely, which changes per state.  However, waiters and waitresses get MUCH less and are dependent on tips.

I agree to a point. But, with people's wages dependent upon tips for a decent/living wage it would be very insensitive to voice your disapproval for the entire system by poorly tipping, as the waitress has nothing to do with the system, she is merely trying to pay her bills just like the rest of us. Personally, I am a generous tipper on purpose because I try to follow the golden rule--treat others the way I would want to be treated. With that said, I am only a generous tipper if the person truely gave great service and if they give poor service I also lower my tip. I get irritated when people tip everyone the same rate, regardless of how the service was--that best the point of tipping. The tip should reflect your level of satisfaction with the service. Otherwise, why should the waitress give you good service if everyone routinely tips the same. Last, I always tip bartenders very well, even when I am getting a glass of water--reason being...they give you a drink, you tip, you tip well and they'll give you progressively better service throughout the night. Stronger drinks, quicker service etc...Now that makes sense to tip more.
