A waitress usually makes around $2.50 to 3.50 an hour from the company itself. That's because waiters main income comes from tips. If you aren't making at least like 6.75 an hour (tips included/ whatever minimum wage is now for Missouri) then I believe the company is to pay you more. But don't quote me on that last part.
The minimum wage in Illinois in 2002 was $5.15
A waitress in training makes minimum wage (or whatever hourly is for a hostess/non-tipped position). The waitress who does the training keeps the tips.
