I go to a restaurant to study before exams. I sit there for 5+ hours with a bowl of soup, some crackers, and a glass of water with lemon. My bill is usually under $5. I leave a $20 since I just monopolized a table for an unreasonable amount of time.

Two of my roomates worked at a higher-end Italian cuisine establishment in Utah making $2.50/hour + tips from the years 2000 - 2003. It was pretty much the standard for any restaurant out there to pay just as poorly. Most states currently have a significantly lower minimum wage for servers.
