I have family members who work in restaurants, I know how much they and their work collegues make because they talk about it all the time they are not making shit and people like you who spread such lies and disinformation about $250 a night are despicable liars. That kind of amount might happen once in a blue moon. It is not even remotely close to representing an average shift. Servers often go home with $20 at the end of a slow shift or if they got stiffed by a party that took up most of their shift. Most servers are making less that federal poverty level.
