It's an Audrey Hepburn look gone BAD.

You are stereotyping the job of s waiter. First of all, hosts and bussers get paid hourly, some way over minimum wage. Second of all, the cooks get paid a decent amount OR salary. As for the bartender, they do deserve some cut of the deal but they make their own tips too and might I add, much better tips than servers. Servers dont just "take the order and drop the food down" but they're also mediators, they have to put up with bitchy people, in a lot of cases they clean up the mess, vacuum/mop and perform a TON of other sidework tasks. I know this because I work my ASS off as a server with 12 hour shifts and shitty wages to work through college. So don't you dare say that we don't work and that other people do our job for us.

I'm a waitress in Philly, and I can tell you that when people visiting from L.A. dine, they leave either extremely bad tips or not at all. Servers make 2.83 an hour before taxes and then the government taxes them on 12% of total sales whether they made more or less. People who leave 15% or less in Philly will get dirty looks and sometimes confrontation from servers, so please be kind and leave 18-20%.
