Poor Tippers Need To Understand Reality

If you don’t like getting stiffed, then don’t be a server (line-cooks make a decent wage for legit work - no tips necessary). While I can feel the pain of the server, I cooked for 8 years and most servers are spoiled and self-entitled. Most (MOST, not ALL) work a 3 - 4 hour shift, it’s not easy, but most days they make 50 - 100 bucks an hour. The folks that cook your food make less, work harder and longer shifts, and get treated like criminals.

I’ll conceed that we work equally difficult and frustrating jobs… more or less. I worked at Chili’s (not exactly highest tier) and when I say server, I mean lounge and bar workers. Servers in the bar area make 50 an hour easy (observed as both a manager and a server’s “roommate”), usually start at 6ish and most are gone before 10.

I have no idea where you worked that a server made $50-100 an hour. Maybe in the highest tier restaurants, but my serving experience was not like that. I got to work at 4pm and didn’t leave til usually 9 or 10pm. On a good night, I made 70 bucks perhaps. Certainly above minimum wage, so I’m not complaining, but nowhere near the overblown numbers you cite. I think it’s unfair to say anyone working in the kitchen works more or less hard than servers. We all work hard, but in different ways. I agree some servers I knew were terrible to the kitchen staff, but it went both directions.
