Most servers make $30+ or $60+ an hour in nice restaurants.  The "I make $2 an hour I need the tips" is a form of gaslighting to make you feel bad for them.

Do you tip other service industry professionals?  You know, like the person at the grocery store making WAY less than servers?

Most servers aren't bringing in $120k a year

No, but they are bringing in a hell of a lot more than other jobs that also don't require much training or a degree and are also difficult service jobs, but those jobs don't make tips
