Almost all servers rely on tips as their primary source of income. Making $9.25 or $10.00 an hour is a very nice and I'm appreciative, but serving shifts can last as short as 1 or 2 hours . You are not guaranteed any hours, it's very uncommon to work anything close to a 40 hour work week in the industry. I'm not complaining about it, nor do I feel entitled that no matter what the service or the quality of the food, I should be tipped regardless. I just believe there's a lot of people who are very ignorant to the industry because of one or two bad experiences and tip accordingly.
