>Do you really think the chef will work to make the food better just because the server gets more money?

Well yeah, that actually will happen in places where everyone isn't bitter.

So if I go back into the kitchen and say "yeah, that couple of old folks are really cool and said they'd be a regular last week, I like 'em" and me and the cook being bro he'll make the food a bit better. Not just because of my tip but it'll also help the business to have such regulars. Which helps him.

I know we got a bunch of rage inducing shit but for the most part I really like where I work. It's a family owned bar and restaurant in a popular area of the city with fancy restaurants and stores to the left and bars and clubs to the right. I get about 20% tip usually and the meals are about 10 to 20 bucks so it's good money without the need for a lot of turnover. Everyone I work with is about nice and the manager/owners have less patience with customers than I do so it's fine if I have a dick customer because at some point the manager will ask if I need help or want him on the shit list. Which I never need really.
