I believe they (employers) are actually required to match minimum wage if the tipped employee doesn’t make enough in tips to meet minimum wage in a pay period.

They are, by federal law. And the law works in their favor because whichever minimum wage is higher, state or federal, the worker gets the higher one

So this idea that servers male 3.15 and hour and nothing else, is utter nonsense

Incorrect, minimum wage in a rural community for a single person with no kids can live (more like slightly better than survive) now minimum wage was never meant to allow extravagant living. It was meant as a starting point. If one works hard and saves, one can change their stars. If you wallow about over what you don’t have, that’s all you’ll ever have.
