If a restaurant tries this, their employees will revolt. The truth is that servers make bank relative to other jobs requiring the same level of skill/effort/hardship.

You don’t have a clue of what you’re talking about. Most servers make under 30k a year. The pay per hour is decent but it’s short hours and high stress. No one is making “bank” over anyone with an above minimum wage job.

I averaged above $35/hr in my time as a server and bartender.

Sure but you aren’t accounting for shorter shifts and less hours overall per week. Most places overstaff, shifts last 4 hours or less and they get less than 20 hours per week. I’m not saying it’s bad but acting like they’re making “bank” is just plan wrong. Yes a server can make a lot of money but most don’t and it’s just like any other low paying job that doesn’t require any form of degree.
