Why tip before they were making $15? The bank teller doesn't get tipped.[ . . . ] Homemade meals average $2.50.

Fine. Have your home made meal. Some of us want to grab a hot meal during lunch hour or are in the mood for a particular type of meal or want to give our wives a break.

All those other jobs you mentioned have a different pay scale, and except for maybe the car salesman, they are guaranteed to make more base pay, because the waitress's pay is based on YOUR judgment of her performance. If you don't care for that set up, then go to Wendy's or Golden Corral if for whatever reason you are on the road and can't make your home cooked meal. But don't sneer at people who provide honest work in a job that puts them at the mercy of the decency of the customers.

I'll sneer at husbands who can't make their own lunches and shove that chore over to their wives. Bet she'd like a break from a lot of other things, too.
