Have you ever worked I. A restaurant? They don't call a lot more often than you think. Actually had two parties do this saturday night. One was a 15 and the other was a 12.

This is completely fair. Do you find that people still are tipping 15-20% despite the increase of server minimum wage? It's kind of a frightening thought that many of these people are likely getting paid better for waiting than I am in my internship working towards 2 masters degrees. At what point does it become the "easy way out" to go and earn $20-$40/hour as a server instead of going and getting an education?

Oh yeah people are trained from a young age about how tipping is a necessity. It's taboo not to tip, so no matter the context people will keep doing it.

Interesting point on the masters, I know a few people with B.S. and a few with a masters, and they stayed in their restaurant job because of the pay. One actually just bought a house and I believe she's like 27, just bar tending. And they actually enjoy it from what they tell me.

and even if they dont call ahead and are all able to get seats, that would mean they are within the restaurants capacity, and if servers are struggling to serve them the manager still has not planned accordingly.
