      Lewd comments. Sexual overtures. Groping. Restaurant servers put up with a lot in pursuit of the tips they need to make a living, constantly deciding where to draw the line.http://nyti.ms/2tAd3A8

      Working for tips means that each shift comes with questions that don’t apply to millions of other workers around the country: How much money will I make and how much will I tolerate to make it? http://nyti.ms/2Ihy1qR pic.twitter.com/OZcNO2hRgS

      Dana Angelo gave a start when a man reached up her skirt and grabbed her. But she stifled a scream, afraid to make a scene. "I was looking at $200 in tips.'' http://nyti.ms/2tJ0ZfY pic.twitter.com/1me1K70Yyn

      “Most of my day is geared towards how is a man going to feel about me. How can I maximize tips without feeling overly sexualized by my guests?” asks Ashley Lewis, who is grateful for the work but conflicted about what it entails. http://nyti.ms/2ImSsmg pic.twitter.com/xei2lgzYNK

      Managers can protect workers by switching a server’s table or asking an offending customer to leave. But even for bosses with good intentions, sexual harassment from customers is difficult to police.http://nyti.ms/2FB8UxI

          Servers ignore comments about their bodies, laugh off propositions and deflect behavior that makes them uncomfortable — all in pursuit of the tip that will help buy groceries or pay the rent. http://nyti.ms/2tSAcOL pic.twitter.com/SnxjlnPhV4

          These casual environments where alcohol lightens the mood and erodes boundaries prompt restaurant workers to ask: How much money will I make, and how much will I tolerate to make it? http://nyti.ms/2tIoyWt pic.twitter.com/nUzS55jVUg

          We also wanted to hear from you. Readers described the pressure to tolerate harassing behavior in order to earn tips. Especially telling? Many of you said the money made it worthwhile.http://nyti.ms/2u0vPRv

          The majority of inappropriate behavior was from management—not customers

          I was a server for 3 yrs. All i can say is every person needs to do that job for 1yr. What they deal with is borderline abuse. An absurd % of people develop an undeserved sense of entitlement when someone waits on them. I never leave less than 25% in normal situations

          @ZazieRestaurant a super popular brunch spot in SF went tip free quite some time ago. It's wonderful as a customer, I hope it made things better for the workers (I know that was the goal).

          I’m sure it depends on where you work, but I found the behavior among co-workers in the restaurant industry much more fraught with “harassment” and inappropriateness than from diners to servers.

          My old roommate called her waitressing gig "a lower form of prostitution" so yeah, people (mostly men) suck.

          Yes. But, I'd like to hear about harassment and unequal treatment that happens from management and back-of-house staff-- who are often older men-- toward the serving staff-- who, in my experience, are predominantly female and much younger.

          My experience is that the wait staff in most restaurants (both upscale and middle level) are more concerned about their tips than the level of service they offer.

          Me, a Korean-American, served tables and a couple said, as I was just about to leave the table, "No way he's Chinese. He's too big to be Chinese". Also had a Korean man tell me I was White-Washed because I couldn't speak Korean. I just walked away both times and said nothing
