They're legit, and they make big tips when they work hard.

I have worked as a tipped employee, and I have never heard a tipped employee say “wow that table/person didn’t tip much, I should have worked harder”

[jzb]

s/they work hard/somebody decides to tip which may or may not reflect any effort the worker put in because some people just don’t tip and depending on tips is a shitty way to scrape by/

The comment I was referring to was talking about the UK, where we don't have a tipping culture in the same way the US does.

>They're legit

It is hard to know whethr they are working legally.

Oh, I thought you were talking about the establishments themselves, sorry!
