Here is some information you might be interested in knowing:
Salary and Compensation Like most servers in the restaurant industry, Cracker Barrel waitstaff earn roughly $3.00 to $4.00 per hour before tips. Including tips, many waiters and waitresses with Cracker Barrel earn well over $10.00 an hour. The average work week for a Cracker Barrel server consists of three to four six-hour shifts. Shift availability and regularity of hours depend upon restaurant location and worker experience, in most cases. Advancement opportunities into management roles may lead to increases in wages. Qualified servers may earn numerous employment benefits with Cracker Barrel, as well. Cracker Barrel offers discounts on meals and merchandise, 401(k) retirement plans, and healthcare coverage to eligible workers. Additional job benefits, pay rates, and hiring requirements vary by Cracker Barrel location.
Most waitstaff depend on whatever tips they may get cause they only get paid a certain amount and the owners of diners know that. Maybe you should walk a mile in their shoes having to deal most of the time with some disgruntled customers or have a lot of people to wait on during rush hour so to speak .I've been on both sides of that counter so I know how it feels.
My neighbor guy took me out for lunch one time and some people who had just sat down behind us began complaining on how slow the waitstaff were.I said out loud that if they expected fast food to go to McDonald's etc then.
Here in the State of Ohio other than Welcome Centers/Rest Areas where drivers can stop to rest and use bathroom facilities as far as I know there are no actual roadside fatigue testing which is done.
