But in Europe restaurant staff is respected and paid decently and have some benefits, it can actually be a career. Here restaurant staff is usually paid at the legal minimum and lots of times below the legal minimum with absolutely zero benefits, like medical, dental. It is a sh*t job and of course it's the employees choice.
Also the wait staff usually make way better cake then the ones making your food, seems the opposite of how it should be to me. The guys behind who usually had to go to school and have a skill get the same pay an no tips.

I have some friends that are Chefs, and in most cases (at least the places that they work) tips, aka gratuitities, are distributed evenly amongst the waiting and kitchen staff at the end of each month. They generally count on it as being part of their income...
