$5.15 /hour. A typical dinner out for my wife and I costs about $50.00.
If
the server does a good job I tip him $10.00. If he waits on no other
tables
during that hour he makes $15.15. If he has other tables then who knows
what he makes. That includes the U. S. government for tax purposes.

$15.15 per hour for an entry-level job is fabulous. Our house-keepers make
$7.75 to start. Our desk staff earns $8.00.

Now let's assume that this waiter works another few tables at the same time.
Suddenly he's making more per hour than a UAW line-worker in Detroit.

Of course, arguably he's doing a much harder job, but that's another topic.
