The only problem is, it's very hard to budget a waitress salary, because sometimes you just aren't busy and don't make anything, and other days you don't stop all day (and there have been days I've averaged $16/hr, and one night I made $5 the whole night).

I'm afraid that it
is legal in restaurants. That's because some Americans, in the past, went to Europe and started tipping. Foolishly, back in the States, tips became part of a server's salary instead of an indication of efficiency and presentation.
