Waiters/Waitresses work hard but there are also plenty of jobs that work pretty hard as well. I welcome good service at a restaurant as well but I thought the reason we pay 6 bucks for a beer (halal beer of course) or 20 bucks for a meal was for the service as well. Tips used to be just extra. I just find it unfair that a waiter makes the same paycheck that someone scrubbing toilets makes in a week when they work just a night.
