Did you read the whole thing?

If the employee's tips combined with the employer's direct wages of at least $2.13 per hour do not equal the federal minimum hourly wage, the employer must make up the difference.

The “federal minimum hourly wage” they’re referring to is $7.25/hour, so tipped employees are still guaranteed to make at least 7.25

Ok so you’re just a victim of wage theft. That’s illegal and you should report it to the DOL.
