I think waitresses make decent money. Even if they only make 10% of the tab as a tip, and run five or six tables an hour... I cannot begin to imagine what the average ticket cost is - must depend on the restaurant... Let's just say they make $5 tip per table, and run six tables in an hour. That's $30 an hour, plus minimum wage. For an entry level position that's not bad at all.
We went to a local restaurant this weekend, very similar to Applebees. Our first time there our ticket was lost, and we waited over an hour to be served. Son of a bitch, the same thing happened this weekend. They lost our ticket again. They gave us our meal for free, but our waitress was so much fun I gave her a $20 tip anyhow.
