Most certainly. Waitresses and waiters make less than minimum wage (something like $2 something an hour). Without tips they cannot feed their family.

Yes, I worked as a busboy, host, manager, cook, and bartender at restaurants. The hourly wages are low and some people depend on the tips to feed their families and themselves. Those people that are extra nice even to grumpy customers may have no choice.

If you look at http://www.dol.gov/esa/minwage/america.htm you'll see that in Kansas, the minimum wage for these workers is $2.65/hour. In Montana, it's as low as $4.00/hour. There are seven states that have a minimum wage with minimum wage rates lower than the Federal. There are five states with no minimum wage law at all. For those working in those states, it's essential that they earn tips in order to make a living wage. In other states, it's a matter of encouraging good service. It's a matter of rewarding good service. It's also a matter of etiquette that tips are given to certain service people including, but not limited to, servers.
