<prompt> Human: I work part time as a waitress. We get an hourly wage of roughly 2. My understanding is that we are supposed to make up the difference to minimum wage in our tips. I recently received a pay check with 0.00 on it. When I asked why it says 0 I was told because I made too much in tips. When I asked again for it to be explained the answer I got was that someone else had worked as a server for 13 years and only received 3 paychecks ever. I find it extremely hard to believe that restaurants dont have to pay their employees ANYTHING if they make enough in tips. Can someone ELI5 because Im extremely confused!!!  <response>: It all went to taxes and stuff. Look at your pay stub it should show where it all went.
