Let’s break it down: if you worked a 5 hour shift and brought in $500 in food sales (which is suuuuuuper easy to do at any busy restaurant; TRUST); if you earn 20% of that, you take home $100–that’s twice the amount you’d make at the rate of $10/hour.

 

Those waiters in NYC you speak of may bring in $2500 in five hours. That would net them $500.00. That's $100 per hour. Plus any additional tips some extra generous diner may give.

Still think those waiters would quit?

“That would net them $500.00.”

My girlfriend back in 1980 (22 year old) got 600.00 in tips for just Friday and Saturday night in NYC.

So they are making $2500 on $500 in sales? Uhhhh no. Check the math.
