[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Restaurant workers get over a $100 per evening shift. That is not low wages.
Compare that to what a teacher makes for same amount of time[/quote]

That's one level of restaurant workers.

My daughter makes about $800-$1000 per week in tips for about 30-35 hrs of work as a server.

One time some drunk Republicans (it was near and after a Trump rally) tipped her $400 on a $100 bar bill when she was bartending.

She makes a good living as a server, she greatly appreciates the tips she gets, she understands when some losers don't get how to tip and leave too little, it doesn't change her attitude toward her work which is to make every patron's experience the best it can possibly be.

I know other servers who make more than she does.  One guy I know works in a restaurant in DC just on the weekends and he doesn't get any of the dinner shifts, he makes $400-500 per weekend.

Keep on tipping, that's how that system works, and don't feel sorry for servers.  They're mostly doing okay.

Oh, and by the way, the average teacher is making about $40 an hour unless they're brand new.[/quote]
