This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Waiters are against it as they get way more than if they were paid by the owner.

They're not against it, and they don't.

You must have been paid very well as a waiter to do better than tips.

If youre interested, id be happy to detail the realtities of waiting tables. Here's a big one non-waiters don't always know: all your tips are claimed these days. Your gross tips are taxed, after which your tips are split (either required tip-out % or full tip pooling) between the other staff.
