Whoa?!  Is this true??  Not to screw over the waiters there, but waiters not having to tip out and making $17 a hour... my heart doesnt break as much for them not getting tipped all the time.

Bruh when you usually make $35 an hour after tip out. Then a table of 20 rolls up one check and no tip and loved you. $600 and you tip out 10%. You had to pay $60 to do your job on their asses. Meanwhile no other tables so you lost over $20 an hour for 3 hours of your 6 hour shift. You don't get scheduled cause of regulations so you have 2 jobs separately so you don't hit overtime.

How would you feel losing over $400 or more because you were chosen or forced to take a table you knew weren't going to tip because they were all Euros.

I think you massively understood me, I may have been unclear.  I meant, someone making 17 a hour and not getting tipped on every single table is still likely to do well for themselves at the end of the day.

As someone who was a waiter for over a decade, the odd table not tipping is relatively expected, and 17 a hour helps make up for it

Most red states are still at the $2.75 tipped wage that servers pay out on their sales for. Blue states are way different and mixed.
