If you have ever worked in a restaurant that pools the servers tips and evenly distributed them equally at the end of the night then you know exactly what I am talking about. When new servers find out that they can do the bare minimum and still get the same tip out as the few hard workers left. If they still work there. Tip pooling breeds laziness. With no motivation to work harder and make more tips that will just be given to the lazy bitch who does the minimum.
Waiting tables is the perfect example of Darwinism in action. If you are good at it, you make bank and get hooked into the life. If you suck, you don’t make any money, you feel shamed by your peers and quit. No carrying dead weight here. No time for that on a busy Friday night.
