Tips are money that you leave for your server. Servers generally pay the IRS based upon (minimally) 8% of total sales. The average time a server spends serving someone is an hour. If you don't leave a tip for a server it will still cost them money out of their pay check to pay the IRS.

Answer'Tip' began as a verb in the seventeenth century, used in the language of thieves, meaning 'to give'. By the early eighteenth century, the meaning included "to give a gratuity to a servant or employee". The service person is not paid minimum wage, they are paid below that rate on the assumption that the public will augment their wage. It is to the server's advantage to give good service simply because the wise customer will generally tip 15% of the bill. In some establishments, this is also known as a "minimum" or "cover charge" to insure that the servers are treated fairly. 10% TIPS are generally left for so so service, 15% left for decent service and 20% or more is left for outstanding service.

How much do waiters make in tips a day?

I have waited tables for 5 years, all fine dining. Tips vary day to day, in a fine dining restaurant with a nice wine menu, a server should be able to pull $100 easy. Highs ranging from $350-500 dollar nights depending on clientele. That being said, on an off day you might be sent home early with nothing, or work all night on a slow evening and make 50 bucks. Primarily tips have to do with the server, if you have IT you'll do fine, if you don't have IT, I'd look for a new job.
