If the tip minimum wage is as high as the regular minimum wage would you tip less?

California and a few other states the minimum wage for waiters is already the same amount as the regular minimum. if I a

Some states the tip wage is higher than the federal tip wage, but not as high as the state regular minimum wage.

In Florida the tip minimum wage is $9.98 and regular minimum is $13.

I think most Americans tip around 20% of the bill, but also assume the server is only paid $4—$7 an hour.

I’m curious to know what you assume wait staff at restaurants are paid by their employer and if you knew how varied the minimum is state to state for tipped employees.
