    Do we only pay servers if they’re waiting tables?

    Yes, actually. In the USA anyway. They’re paid very low wages and that’s a very common form of wage theft that goes unchecked and unreported: restaurants required servers to do pre-shift work at their normal sub-minimum-wage pay with no hope of making tips during that time. It’s illegal but happens all the time

      Notice you did say wage though, right?! I don’t agree with it either, but flight attendant don’t get shit until the plane is in the air or something ridiculous. Not a cent.
