When I was young, I too was a waitress. My husband waited tables also - we both needed to pay college tuition. So, tips were important. HOWEVER, we both believe that waiters and waitresses should be paid the minimum wage. This whole deal about tipping so that they make enough to live on - should be on the shoulders of the employer - not the public.
Then what the servers make beyond minimum wage would be directly related to the service they provide. How it got the way it currently is......is beyond me.
