While I sympathize with " these people rely on tips", whose fault is that? Not yours and not mine. Why does the freaking hostess, get a cut? Don't they make minimum for walking me to an open table, which I could do if the "Please seat yourself" sign was set out. Doesn't the busperson make minimum? Nobody in the kitchen should rely on tips, surely! And who is this mysterious "runner" that shows up with what is supposed to be my order, makes a guess at what it is then asks "who gets the steak?" Where is my waitperson, you know the one who is supposed to wait on me?
