>you are tipping only person who brings the plate. You dining experience is affected more by other people

A lot of restaurants have "tip sharing", "tip out", "tip pool" where the waitstaff share some portion of their tips with the hostess, foodrunners, cooks, etc. So the customer is really tipping all the workers except the managers.

Never heard about tip sharing with kitchen and especially with cleaning staff. Usually they share only with people working around the tables.

Poor latinos are working overtime on minimal hourly wage as dishwashers, basic food prep, etc and no tips for them.

That is my experience, it would be great if other places are more fair.
