That was nice.
But they don't make much at all. $20,660 according to the BLS for full time at a full service restaurant.

They make more in metropolitan areas, but then the cost of living is much higher in those areas, too.
All I'm saying is it's a low-paying gig. Watch the server hustle the next time you go to a restaurant on a busy night, covered with sweat and grime (kinda like porn), and be generous when the bill comes. You never know if they have mouths to feed, or if they're facing eviction, or what difficulties they're facing.
And if they truly suck, and don't care about giving you good service, then I guess they do deserve to be stiffed. That's very unusual though - at least in my experience. Most try hard to please.
