It all depends on where you work. I was reading the other day about how many waitresses at Medieval Times can make $300-$400 a night in tips if they are good and play along with the crowd. So they are making pretty good money, but I have a friend that used to wait tables at Sheri's (a chain diner in the US for the those that don't know it). At the time minimum wage was around $4.25 per hour and he averaged about $6 per hour most nights and on busy/good nights a little more. So he made more than minimum, but he wasn't swimming in money.
Remember, most places make the waitresses give some of their tips to the bussers and cooks so if you give a waitress a $3 tips the odds are she is not going to keep all of that.
