Indeed. But you said in a previous post that you would pay them what they are worth. Here the discrepancy between regular minimum wage and server minimum wage is very small. Point is that tips are what make the industry go around and survive. Without decent tips good servers go and find a new gig that does have good customers, it's really that simple. I guarantee you that you are never going to attract a seasoned server that can provide a good dining experience based on their hourly wage. First thing any server does when they get a job at a place is ask the full time servers what they can make in tips if they haven't already found out before they applied for the job.
