My employer is trying to pay me below minimum wage

Hello friends, I have questions about the legality of my employers decisions. They are currently offering me 1 dollar below minimum wage for the first 90 or so days of employment. 9 dollars an hour compared to 10. I have never heard of this being a thing until this job. For some context, the state is Florida and the place of employment is a restaurant similar to chipotle. We do receive tips but it’s only at the register and frankly no one tips. I’m not sure if this is legal for an employer to pay below minimum wage for the first 3 months of work. I am also below age 18 but above age 16 so not sure where that leaves me. Thank you.
