This is pointless, but I'll bite and point out to you that you are wrong. I would argue that being a server is about 4000X as hard as being a roadworker who get to spend his day outside either holding a sign that says slow down or riding a steam roller, and taking 4 lunch breaks. Have you ever been a server? It can be grueling work where there are always time constraints, multiple threads of multitasking, and one tiny mistake can set you back so you won't get paid for the current round of seating.
Probably the most potentially stressful job I've ever had. I've done heavy labor jobs too, you might break a sweat once and a while, but there is absolutely no stress involved.

I am not implying that servers only deserve $2.15 an hour, I am saying they shouldn't bitch about their tips and how hard their job is when they are the ones that chose to do it. I am lumping them in with teachers as a group of people that canonize themselves publicly as saints unto this earth. Fact of the matter is that generally servers that earn shitty tips are shitty servers and I don't want to listen to them bitch about it.
Have you ever worked outside in the sun doing any sort of manual labor on a hot summer day? I am talking ANY manual labor. A job being stressful does not mean it is harder work, it means you are less capable of dealing with its requirements.
