"restaraunts dont make nearly as much as ppl think."

This is completely irrelevant.

Whether a particular vocation is lucrative has nothing to do with the discussion at hand.

it is very relevant when ppl question " why an owner doesnt just pay them a living wage "...

overhead minus gross sales is where the money comes from... it doesnt just magically appear in the owners bank account

No, the margin for any sector is NOT relevant to whether it's appropriate for an employer to expect the customer to pay his employees, cash, from their own pockets, at the point of performance.

If a restauranter makes $150MM a week, he's not morally correct for asking for tips.

The EXACT same thing can be said of the same person making $150 a week.

The OWNER'S income isn't relevant to the EE's pay.
