I should ask for more pay?

Answer 1

hostess should make a solid rate like 8$ an hour or something, if your making more than that with tips- then you are fine.

Answer 2

To begin with, you accepted the job at the pay they offered.  Meaning, when they said, "Will you work for 3.50?", you said Yes.    

Also, you can really increase your value to your employer by continuing to provide incredible service with a great attitude.  Keep doing that and then you can ask for a salary review after a few months.
