Servers at Darrell's aren't making $250 per day in tips. The waitress at IHOP isn't making $250 per day in tips. The waiter at Ay! Jalisco who only works the lunch shift isn't making $250 per day in tips. In fact, most servers who work the lunch shift don't make $250 per day in tips, and most of them don't work more than 5 hours in a shift, or more than 4 days in a week. Most servers won't work more than 5 or 6 hours in a shift, for more than 4 days a week.
