umm
the reason the guy serving the $20 meal makes more than the guy serving the $5 meal is bc people generally tip based on meal price. And generally, hte person serving the $20 meal does quite a bit more than the person serving the $5 meal. Some of the work you may see, some you don't. However, don't always think the person doing the $5 makes less. I know IHOP servers who make more than 5* restaurant servers. Then again, there are servers making more than managers in a lot of restaurants..but generally, in this situation, it is easiest to tip based on cost and maybe extra or less depending on great vs poor service.
soo, as for the original question...I dunno. I generally tip servers very well and most people who make at or near min wage a bit and those who make well over min wage, i tip based on performance/extra stuff. Then again, most people are generally nice to me, so i end up tipping whenever i can/should.
