I’m not going to engage in any class warfare… restaurant staff actually get LESS than minimum wage, because tips are supposed to offset the loss. Of course they’re going to want more money; they probably NEED it. Having said that, I rarely have two dimes to scrape together, and my tip limit is 15%, give or take. I mean, I’m not going to count it out to the penny, I’m not that much of a tightwad, but I’ve got my own expenses. If I can’t realistically afford to eat out, I’ll just make a sandwich at home.

How about making employers responsible for actually paying their employees?
Employers will never do this. They would rather allow their employees to starve.
