If you are a bartender or waiter, does your tips ever surpass your salary?

Yep constantly. Minimum cash wage for tipped employees in my state is less than $3/hr. It's almost not worth the paper the check is printed on. Sometimes I just let them pile up and deposit them all at once at the end of the month because it's pretty depressing going to the bank each week for that little amount. Now tips on the other hand are great. On a slow weekend night I easily clear $100/nivht and that's when it isn't the busiest. I do a lot better in the summer and I have more time to work then anyways.

Nope never did but i hate the fact that i get more tip than male waiters on an average , but anyways it won't surpass salary , might come close on a busy day

The summer I waited tables in college I was pulling in 80-100 a night on a slow weekday, 500 and up on weekend nights. My salary was $3/hour because I worked at a nice place.

Not really, my place is not that big so tips won't be that big to even come to 10% of my salary

Depending on how busy it is. I'll say. Maybe half my salary

Yes on a few days like weekends or holidays but not common
