A server who is rude or unhelpful to me ? They get zilch.
But someone who is good at their job and makes for a pleasurable dining experience ? Top dollar.
Why Americans allow themselves to be treated like crap by ignorant wait staff and then meekly pay them for the privilege is beyond me.
No,
you miss the point. First, that people (in a country such as the US) should earn a living wage for their work.
And as mentioned, customers very often take out their frustrations and penalize the server for restaurant conditions beyond that server's. control. When was the last time you talked to someone who actually does this job about this reality of it?
