Because there’s no such a thing as unskilled labor, some people believe that you can wait tables without training, and that people duck as waiters.
Plus they clearly hate the job so it makes me feel as if they are making me a favor.
That said, probably the job pays terribly and that’s the reason why this happened in the first place.
Friend of mine is a waiter who says things like “give me that two dollar minimum wage any day with tips.“ Says he makes more than anybody else in the restaurant except the owner. But again, this is skilled labor as you say, I couldn’t just go in and be the same caliber with no experience, he’s been doing this decades.
It depends on where you work for those tips. Fine dining and busy bars tend to do good. Though I was a bartender at one somewhat busy bar and tips were shit because the clientele were just that way. Old folks and people who spent all their money gambling on video poker mostly. Was kind of annoying when someone won big and bought the house a round but didn’t tip at all or tipped $1.
But I only had that job for one year before I left to work in IT. No tips but way better pay overall.
If you’re going to throw your money away, throw some this way. I haven’t paid someone to carry food to me in like a decade. It seems like something from another world now.

I want competent waiters with competent salaries.
