I worked as a busboy at some high end restaurants in Atlanta when I was in college. Most tips were in cash, and the waiter/waitress got half, and the cook got 25 percent and the busboy got 25 percent. I made some pretty good money, plus got a free meal every day. Plus lots of girls work at restaurants, some of these girls are lonely!

Money, food, and chicks, what more does a college boy need. I don't remember any problem with tips being stolen.
