Alright so im already not a big fan of tipping but i didnt realize how common the “server wage” still is in america.

I always thought it was small/family owned diners with less money but no. I started working at a corporate steakhouse chain and our servers make $2/hr, pathetic.

During every holiday this year we broke our sales record and guest record and our servers make chump change compared to these executives.

What really brought me here today was our mothers day. Its possibly our biggest day/weekend of the year and our servers made NOTHING.

A whole day of huge back to back parties and the average tip was 5%…

Im sorry but who dines at a steakhouse and doesnt plan to tip?

Multiple $200+ checks left $10 tips and im just disappointed.

I know tipping more doesnt help the overall issue but coprporate DOES NOT CARE, they will not pay their severs here in america its always been this way and sadly i dont see any change soon.

You might be surpised to hear im not a server. Currently in the process of cross training around all the BOH positions but i respect servers alot since starting.

Everyone here is so great its basically a second family and subconsciously I need to take care of them. I make food for anyone whenever, no one works hungry on my watch. And when i hear no one is tipping them i get annoyed.

Well thats my rant, what a mothers day lol.
