Talking about business models does not remedy the situation. Without business reform across the country, servers will still continue to make crap wages. I was a server for some time and believe me, at $2.13 an hour, we do depend heavily on the kindness of our guests. And I do say kindness intentionally, as in many cases you can provide the best service you possibly can in a busy restaurant environment and customers leave 5% and under just because they can. I worked Valentine's day and revieved a 25cent tip on a $100 bill from a smug young man who told me to "keep the change." I worked Easter Sunday and recieved a 5% tip on a $200 bill from a group of big hat-wearing church ladies. Tipping may not be everyone's favorite part of going out to eat, but you know what to expect when you go to a full service restaurant. If you don't have the money, don't eat out. And if you think your single tip doesn't matter, believe me, you're wrong.
