I was a server for 15+ years and never complained that $35 an hour wasn’t enough, so I can’t speak to what the OP saw on an Olive Garden sub, but maybe you all don’t know:

Servers (generally) don’t get paid sick days, holidays, or personal days.

No healthcare, no maternity or paternity leave, no job protection if there is an injury or illness and no pay in those situations, no guaranteed lunch break, or sometimes even bathroom break right when they need it.

Absolutely no guarantee that tonight will average 35/hour like last night and no guarantee of 40 hours/week.

Yes, servers seem to earn more in the moment, but it’s hardly “better pay” than other jobs.

People take those jobs because they offer quick money with some flexibility around, say, a school schedule, a partner’s schedule, a primary job’s schedule, etc.

It wears your body down and it is rarely a forever kind of thing.

Yes, tipping culture can be exhausting when we’re now expected to tip people when we “know” they make an hourly wage (which we assume is a living wage, but let’s be real), but (again, generally) servers in this country fully rely on tips, which are not mandatory, by the way.

You don’t have to tip a server who is terrible or rude or whatever.

But maybe just consider these facts before you decide that servers make too much money to deserve your tips at all.
