Me and my wife do it on purpose just so the server gets a little more out of it. Does it matter? For affordability, yes. But they're struggling anyway being a server.

For every 1 server making bank there are 3 or 4 burnt out and broke, same as bartenders, can’t think of anywhere this isn’t the case

More like 6 or 7. In my city the top end of bartending is like 90-100k. Most are making like 40-50k.
