The answer is 2.63 per hour. The reason is, that waitresses make tips. The employer is given what they call a tip credit. In order to pay a waitress the 2.63 per hour, the waitress must make up the difference between 2.63 and the state minimum of 8.00. Which would be 5.37 per hour in tips.

If the waitress receives enough tips to qualify for application of the tip credit under state or federal law, which most waitresses will, then the minimum wage is $3.75.

Why don't some people earn the minimum wage?

I'm not entirely sure but sometimes they get comission. For example, waiters and waitresses might not necessarily ear minimum wage but for every table they serve they get a tip. Or, if you're a salesperson, you might get a low-based salary but the more you sell, the more comission you get.
