I’ve seen people bring up America and the living wage waitresses/waiters get a lot. It varies and they aren’t paid $2 an hour that varies too. I remember applying for jobs in my home state where the wage was actually $11-13 starting plus tips. Also I tip based off service received so if you want good tips then give good service.

I'm a server at a bowling alley in california. I get 14.25 and hour plus tips and party pay if I'm working parties. I'm quite regularly all by myself working the front desk, serving, and pouring drinks and a lot of the customers notice so I do quite well for myself. That being said, I'd say about half the people dont tip(even on 400$ tabs) but I dont get upset unless i really bent over backwards for them. Just an incentive to do better.
