Also, the vast majority of wait staff and bartenders work on less than minimum wage (legal in a tipped position), while the rest of the restaurant staff makes a set salary. As a person in that position it is your duty to "tip out" the people that help you do your job, however, kitchen staff has traditionally NEVER been a part of that tip pool, nor should they be considering they make more in salary. Once in a while sure, but on a whole, never.
