25 Restaurant Memes for Workers Who Live Off Tips

If you work in a restaurant, odds are you probably live off tips. It's both a blessing and a curse. Back when I was a server, my coworkers and I made $3.25 an hour. How is that even legal? I don't know but apparently, it is, thanks to the magic of tipping. I don't understand how it works (clearly, I'm not in finance as I'm here writing about memes), but somehow, we all didn't seem to care at the end of the night when it came time to cash out our tips.

There's nothing like walking out of work with a load of cash in your pocket and feeling rich for a night… until you realize you have to make it last all week. There's also the crippling uncertainty of tipping culture nowadays. A table could leave you a 25% tip and a heartfelt note, or they could run you ragged for two hours and only leave $2 and their phone number. But then you go in the next night and make $400 that reminds you why you stay in the business.
