They can't, the employee always gets the higher of state vs federal.. But Federal minimum wage is different for wait staff. Read here.

Ah, ok, so we're back at the beginning of this discussion where someone said they should get rid of this system and also pay wait staff a decent wage to begin with. After all, why should an exception be made for them. To me, it seems they get the short end of the stick anyway that way.
