You make a lot more than $12 an hour if you include tips.

Here in Seattle, at a regular sit down restaurant, servers can average almost $40 an hour, even more if they worked the dinner shift.

How good do you think the tips will be for someone waiting table who has 0 experience and doesn’t know the menu? This also sounds like a big risk if they wait on a table with any food allergies.

That’s why I figured bussing tables, or some other back of house job would make more sense. Maybe the waitstaff shares tips with everyone; I think it depends on the place… but are full time waitstaff going to want to share tips with someone making $200k who is cosplaying as a service worker for a day?
