"It's not that easy I have to tip out the others".. you mean you have to share some of the huge tip amount with the people who did most the actual work?
I hear this rebuttal often after years of anti-tip advocacy.
Many restaurants require a server pay anywhere from 10-35% of the total tip amount to the other service staff who don't take the orders from customers. This varies depending on how many people helped serve the food/drink and prepared the dining area. Sometimes the actual cooks receive something too.
The bartender/barrack makes the actual drink.
The food runner and buss boy actually bring out the food and clean the table take the actual gross plates.
The kitchen staff makes the actual food, which is actually the reason any customers actually come in the first place.
What does the server actually do? Write down what you want and bring the drinks. Also bring out the check so you have to be face to face with them when leaving a tip.
Everyone else in the restaurant does more actual work. Yet the servers expect to be paid the most.
On top of all that they complain about the pittance they have to share of the tips they recieved for what they claim is "their sales".
Get real. Servers need to stop being so entitled.
