Potential is the keyword. Many a times they barely make it. I personally never was a server, was always at the cash register, but I see how little money they actually make, even when they are the nicest and fastest and most social they can be. Then they can get lucky with nice tippers, but relying on luck to survive isn't really a great life.

And I've worked in a kitchen of a restaurant that was always hustling and bustling, making $9.35 an hour. 5 days a week, where I'm coming home drenched in sweat and the scent of food. I do not feel bad for them at all. The servers at my restaurant were definitely making money, helps that they were hot as hell.

I will admit, partially my distaste of tipping comes from not feeling appreciated on the job. A lot of times, when people tip, it's because the food and service as a whole was enjoyable. Given the work on the backend that goes into the dish, I'd like a little thanks as well. A couple of the servers ruined this for me, by acting like they run the kitchen when even though they've been there a decade, they don't know what all goes on in the kitchen.
