Here in the states, the minimum for tipped workers is $2.13. Also, the federal minimum wage for nontip is $7.25. And they wonder why we can’t afford McDonald’s over here.

For instance, in Quebec, the normal minimum wage is $16.10 per hour, but for tipped workers, it’s $12.90$.
And yes, my reaction to this is also “what the fuck”.

Thanks for the clarification. I totally forgot it isn’t federally regulated.
There are also student wages which allow you to pay students under 18 even lower wages. Fun stuff!
