When did this happen? Could you provide some link so I could research that? Wasn't that way when my wife was a server for many years.
Also - Do all restaurants have to report exact sales figures per server? Is it completely automated even at mom and pop operations? Seems like that would be a daunting task considering how many servers end up running for other tables etc.
Note: I know that waiters are SUPPOSED to report full figures to the IRS but you seem to be indicating the restaurant produces exact sales figures for each server and I don't think that fully happens.
