Having been in the industry for 25+ years, I’ve never seen anything like that. Besides, how would staff know they are getting stiffed before the bill is paid.
Yeah I think that’s an anti-worker stereotype used to characterize workers as greedy, violent, and spiteful.
Most of the people in foodservice i’ve known ended up there because they love food. They enjoy handing someone a great meal or suggesting the perfect cocktail to pair with a dish. They aren’t going to ruin someone’s food like that because they genuinely care about their profession and craft.
People don’t stiff waiters here. That’s how you get spit in your food (to name the least offensive thing they’ll do).
Workers protect their own. And good for them, because management certainly doesn’t give a shit about them.

I think it’s a pro-worker stereotype, in that it gives people a self-interested reason not to be an asshole or stiff their waiters.
I worked in a restaurant for many years and i can’t tell if you all are bullshit.
