I live in NY and have waitressed in Missouri as well. We always got WAY under minimum wage, usually 2-3 dollars an hour. Now usually we get a "shift" pay of around 35 dollars and at my last restaurant, we got 45-50 because we were the head servers.

Here's a question to the servers on here: How do you feel about people leaving you a tip of 4.37 on a 20.63 tab to make their total charge an even number? Do you really have to count out the pennies? Is it a pain in the butt? I've always figured it best for the server to leave an even dollar amount for a tip to take out of the register, but if everything is totaled up at the end of the day, maybe the 37 cents isn't that big of a crime???

It doesn't bother me much, because the last few places I worked at, they do the tips in a check (which sucks b/c we get taxed... grrr) and not cash, so it's not like you're counting out 43 cents, it usually gets rounded up if it is cash anyway.
