Michigan server who got $10,000 tip says she was fired in ensuing dispute

I get that- and thats part of the 'formula' - wait staff are usually well below min wage for hourly + tips.

Cooks generally above $15/hr whereas wait staff ( when i was doing ) was like $2.13/hr plus tips.

But even with the wage disparity, am i going to a restaurant because the servers are nice or the food is really good?

I was at a restaurant last Friday and the food was phenomenal. I ordered bourbon neat and a glass of ice water on the side. Bourbon came with ice, I never got the water. Server was inattentive and never even asked if I would like a second drink. Food was dropped off and she came back after I was done eating to check on me. When she brought the check she flipped a switch and was all polite etc. but to me the damage was done. She received a 15% gratuity and I won’t go back.
