You do realize waiters basically don't get paid by the restaurant
They get paid $2.13 a hour in most states... Which ultimately gets eaten up by taxes. In fact most waiters NEVER receive an actually paycheck...
I used to be waiter so with that said if I got a 3 dollar tip for anything less than $25 its straight up
on a 60 dollar check 10 dollar should be the min.
I would expect 11 or 12 dollars on a 60 dollar check.
Please keep that in mind when you are tipping your waiter, It's likely that "3" dollars or so may be a large portion of what they made that night..
The waiters also have to tip out some of their cash before they leave work.
It could be a sad sad profession on many days.
