Servers make their money on tips, not the hourly wage paid by the restaurant. Good server receives good tips, poor server gets poor tips. Our granddaughter worked at a Waffle House restaurant while in college. She worked the breakfast shift and would routinely make $125 to $150 in tips daily, that's pretty good money. About 18 years ago a friend's son worked at an Outback and he would make $175 in tips working the evening meal hours.
There are a lot of people who are quite content staying at home and not work while drawing unenhanced unemployment benefits.
