Good luck, too, on your J.D.
I'm actually the delivery driver, not a server. I've worked several delivery jobs in law school, both tip based and flat fee, and I find tip based allows for more consistent earnings.
For my colleagues though, I know they would love a living wage, some of them work here ten hours, busting their ..., and walk home with $20.
