Truth!
Hostess, more often than notin my experience, is nothing more than a greeter who hands the waitperson some menus. The waiter/waitress guides on to our table, explains any specials, gets our drinks then takes our order. The waitstaff does something that impacts the customer. The host/hostess? No sweat, or effort that I can see. Full pay Plus a slice of the gratuity given to the one that put forth some effort on your behalf? Bet I can guess who came up with that scam/scheme
