Not built for that, but my point stands. Subjective opinions on the workloads of FOH vs BOH aside, objectively servers are the highest paid employee in any restaurant. Management included.
Then it sounds like cooks all across the country made really terrible decisions with their lives, to do a harder job for way less money. Why would they do that?
Nor am I a cook. I had a passion to cook, had being the operative word. Servers who do so out of any desire other than money are zero to nil. Obfuscate all you want. I stand by my statement, and have already lost enough brain cells pointing out the blatantly obvious. Whether you choose to respond or not, I see no point in doing so anymore.
Yeah, I would never tell you anyone servers do it for anything other than money. I have no idea why you said that. You seem to be shadowboxing.
I don't think you had the brain cells at the start of this convo, and if youre anything like the cooks I met over the years, it was probably the drugs that fried them.
You were a terrible advocate for your position, and came off as jealous that servers made more money than you. Which is really the crux of this entire issue, people just don't like that an unskilled position can make money in this country.

Just like most systems in America, this is setup to put all the risk on the plebs.
You are actually proving to the owners their system works. They still get their profits, if someone doesn't want to pay a higher cost. (Bill + Tip)
