Cooking is physical work mostly in a high stress enviroment. You need the skills to pay the bills, and cooks definitely do not get paid enough.

Serve staff is mostly emotional work, which requires an entirely different skill set and is recognized by mental health professionals as one of the things that takes the largest toll on people. Serve staff absolutely deserve every penny they get for having to deal with the Kens and Karens of the world with a smile on their face and the ability not to straight up choke a bitch out. I've done both and cooking is far, far easier despite requiring a more extensive skill set
Meh, there is truth to what you say but restaurant dynamics are pretty skewed toward benefitting the FoH. If a waiter is pulling in 1k a week compared to a dishie making half that... Basically, I dont even work in kitchens anymore because of this bullshit.

Even if the work is harder, it's not worth twice as much

My main issue is BoH works harder the busier the place gets, and make the same money. Waiter pay scales with business.

Splitting tips is fair.
