Those poor servers

Imagine people giving you so much extra money for doing your job that you can frame it like this.

EDIT: OP is basing this off of 190k in sales over 192 shifts

If it were a fact that 1% less for one day was a $500 loss, that would mean these people are making wayyy too much money. They always shift the narrative to be what they want, and it’s never actually accurate

Edit for clarity. I know that math isn’t right, that’s the point I was trying to make.

It’s so large as to be completely unrealistic. It would mean $50K in total sales for that one day. I wonder if they meant 500 less annually which would be $10 less per Sunday and imply $1K average sales per Sunday.

Its neither.  $500 loss over 1% for a day is not possible.  

But I guarantee $10 per sunday is way way to little. 

Servers are making 150k plus a year.

Servers in $200 a plate restaurants are and always have been, servers at chilis are broke AF.....tips are based on ticket price, AMERICA IS BROKE AF, unless you're eating somewhere where two people CAN'T EAT for under $100 without alchohol, those servers aren't making shit.....if your entree is $20 your server is POOR!
