Golden Rhino: While $75 may seem like a lot on the surface, imagine if the same table of 6 people with a $500 tab who took all night was replaced by table of 4 people with a $300 tab that turns 3 times.

I can appreciate that as a waiter, a hight turnover table is ideal, but my point is that $75 is not too bad, especially if it can be considered a bad night.

I don't know what you do for a living, but say you take home $1000 a week, would a week where you brought home $375 be considered a bad week?

The point I'm trying to make is that some people make their living this way, it's not just a bunch of college kids trying to earn extra dough. It irritates me when people act like tipping is some scam they are forced to contribute to.
