Servers openly bragged about how much they earned in tips which dwarfed my minimum wage Busboy earnings. Once, one of them gave me $1. Once.

Usually, the servers who were most attractive and had impressive physical attributes were the ones raking in the biggest tips.

The servers in general seemed to look down on anyone who wasn't a server, hostess, or bartender as being of lower social stature then them. Not surprised in the least in this instance that they wanted to keep from sharing any of the $10k tip to anyone who wasn't a server.
