It's actually fairly common for waiters to get paid nothing (literally; I've seen the zeroed out pay stubs) and have to rely solely on tips to survive. Thank the restaurant special interest groups for that.
On average, waiters tend not to make any more than cooks, and the service you're getting from a restaurant comes mostly from waiters, unless you're at an upscale place.
