At the restaurant I go to most often, the cook makes $17 an hour, and the waitresses make about $9.50. The waitresses make $10-20 an hour (or more) in tips, and that is not shared.

And you know all of this inside business on what the servers take home because????

Or are you just too cheep to leave a tip?

If the servers were making that much more than the cooks, the cooks would go somewhere else and become servers.
