Especially since I think it hasn’t been increased in ages.

That would completely depend on your juridiction. Minimum wage where I live is $13.85, minimum wage tipped is $10.85.

If you're at a sit down restaurant and sit there for an hour and are the ONLY table that person has for that hour, they make minimum wage with a $3 tip. And yet, even then I hear the nonsense about not making enough on tips from time to time. It's greed at that point.
