The person takes the less than minimum wage job because they want to make tips. And that's great, they should, it's kind of like a mini business they are running. But if they want to make tips, they have to earn those tips. If they do not have the ability to make their customers happy, then McDonald's is probably a much better route to go.
Service. Service. Service. It's the service industry. The industry revolves around giving people service and a pleasant experience. If I sit down, I should be getting that pleasant experience. Unfortunately, I rarely do.

I never said that they don't have to earn tips. I worked as a server for five years to support myself during college. I did a good job and stayed serving because the pay was good and most people were generous. It's just frustrating when you do a good job and go out of your way to make a pleasant experience for the guests of parties of 8 or more and they don't leave you shit because they think it's what I am already being paid to do.
