When I bus I usually make around $35 in tips if I bus the whole place solo and half that if I have a second busperson helping.
It bugs me that servers get tipped and don't have to carry **** around, wipe tables, wipe the floors, and all they do is pick up plates off tables and serve their food yet bussers do almost all the dirty work and still get off with less than a tenth of percentage off the servers tips.

That's what pisses me off, earlier today my co-worker got stiffed as well and it was a party of 7 people I think? Left a bunch of **** on the table and didn't tip him squat. Zip. Nada. A WHOLE rack of plates and glasses stacked up. Napkins on the floor, food on the seats, etc.

I was just as mad because he asked me to bus the table but I can imagine how he felt.
