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

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
