at the Olive Garden can pull in more than an ER nurse, so I just don't tip. They're serving food, not putting it into orbit.
I must assume you don't know that servers are not even payed minimum wage-- often paid as low as $2.20 an hour, bc their tips are supposed to push them over the min wage requirement. They are often not offered/ allowed sick day or vacation days or health insurance, etc. And, they have work they are required to perform at the restaurant without tips: side work.
I am also curious where you obtained your stats on Olive Garden waitresses earning more than nurses....
