A decent waiter in a beer joint probably makes more than the chef in a decent
restaurant. I have a niece and nephew that wait tables in a mediocre bar and they
make better money on a 6 hour shift than I used to make in a 10 hour work day. My
nephew went to university to learn hotel management and went back to waiting tables
because he could make a lot more doing that.

Nuts to that. When I go to a good restaurant I am already paying extra, and good
service should be part of that. I always leave a decent tip at the when I pay my
bill. I don't think I should have to bribe a waiter ahead of time for good service
in the hope I will be indulged. If I don't get decent service I won't be back. The
onus is on them to provide the good service first.
