There ya go. The restaurant where I worked for 3 yrs. paid the cooks very very well plus benefits. the waiters/waitresses got less than minimum wage and had to depend on tips to make up the difference. No benefits.

Yup. The place I worked for in the mid 80's was the same. Except the cheapskate that owned the place deducted part of our tips from our paychecks because it was now "taxable". He only hired single mothers because he could bully them. He cussed me when I quit and said I was the reason he never hired married women. LOL
