America is so weird  :dead: the only country in the world I think where waiters/servers make little to no minimum wage and only generate income from tips. That sounds awful.

You say that, but I know waiters that make $60,000-$70,000  a year at high-end places

Takeaways: Be prepared to pivot, even when you think you're on the right track. Be OK with being wrong so you can get things right.

Kalmyks are tribal Mongolic people who settled in Russia. It's estimated that only 300,000 Kalmyk descendants exist worldwide - with only 3,000 in America.

That's not the norm though

I work in the Gaming industry (casino) where most positions are tipped positions (Poker Dealer, Table Games Dealer, Cocktail Servers, CSR's,Waiters at restaurants, etc) and I can definitely tell you that that amount is the norm.

youre telling us the norm based on experience in one specific industry, though.

Take a look at this article.

There are so many factors that go into how much a waitress can make . Industry, location, types of customers, etc .

People come to casinos READY and willing to SPEND a lot of money. lol you have to remember that.

And people who are into gambling are less likely to have any issue tossing money around with no thought about it . Which means Ching Ching for the service staff

When u work in high end places or DT I know u make MORE money but I think it's pretty standard for people to make decent money in that industry,  which is exactly why they get away with not having to pay minimum wage. I have known people that work in standard ass restaurants and coming home with $200 & $300 dollars in tips. I know someone that was a bartender in a DT hotel and made over 100k a yr. Dont cry for them, they doing ight :omf:

And actually now that I think about it,  I think there is sum provision that if someone doesn't make a certain amount in tips or something,  the restaurant actually does pay the worker some more money or something
