I really find it appalling that waitstaff get paid less than minimum wage because "they'll make it up in their tips". Tips are supposed to be rewards for good service, not the determining factor in whether you can pay your rent.

So what is an appropriate tip for carry-out? The tax here is 6%, is that appropriate? It is less work to handle a carry-out order than to wait on someone who's dining in.

And how do fast-food restaurants work? Do those folks still get less than $3/hour even though they hardly ever get any tips?
