It's been a very long time since I worked as a server.  I remember the
days when tips were not reported as income.  Then someone at the IRS
woke up and said hey, wait a minute! what about all that money people
keep handing them?  We need to find a way to tax it!  So they decided
not to rely on servers reporting what they earned.  So they calculate a
percentage based on each server's sales rung up at the register.  Even
if you don't make diddly squat in tips, a percentage gets reported to
the IRS as taxable income.

So if you're a sourpuss, people don't like you and you don't make much
in tips, you get taxed over money you never earned. Did you work as a
server for long?
