What are the tips & wages like in Chicago Restrauants for a waitress?

Question

Are the tips higher in Chicago b/c of the higher prices/cost of living and better tippers? and, if I worked 15 hours per week at an average restaurant how much would I make?

Answer 1

$5.00 + % of tips u get from customers

Answer 2

I get paid $4.60 an hour plus tips, mind you a % gets tipped out to the bus boy and the host and it is optional for me to tip out the kitchen staff. I have to pay for my uniform and I get 50% off any food I eat.
