When I was in high school and cooked and washed dishes at the local pizza and steak place, the tips went to the waitresses. I took my $2.00 - $3.00 / hr. and went drinking with the boys after work.

The primary place we eat out at now (Sushi) puts all the tips in a jar and spreads it out among all the staff at the end of the night (I asked). So at least there, I know I'm tipping everyone and when the food is good (always) and the service is good (almost of the time) the tip is very generous.
