That was the exact going rate for servers in Tennessee when I was in high school 15+ years ago.
On a weekend in Tennessee, you can make $20+ an hour on this model.

The next time you go out to eat or order delivery food, be generous with your tip.

And our Republican legislature just voted today to reduce the maximum time you can be on it to twelve weeks.
