And the current one in which you say that you tip a bill for the time and effort?

Part of the confusion is that waitstaff and bartenders are allowed to be paid at below minimum wage. In my wife's restaurant, waitstaff make about $3.75-4.50/hr. Supriisngly in this area that is about $1-2 more than most similar type restaurants.
