Unless you work at Dairy Queen or Shithole diner type places, wait staff make bank. Tipping culture is so crazy it’s overboard.
Almost all of my roommates I know who worked at a popular restaurant (something trendy that’s always busy) they were making MORE money than me and worked less hours.
It’s honestly messed up that a waiter often get more than the line cooks/other kitchen staff.
Tips should be pooled. Maybe to which percentage could vary, but everyone should be able to get in on the tips. People tip for the overall experience.
