I worked in a Chili's in Encinitas CA about 13 years ago. I walked with $100-$150 / night in tips alone. A friend of mine made about the same at a Chili's in machesney park IL. Pretty good pay for part time work at a Chili's. It's not only waiters at posch spots that make relatively great money waiting tables. No one I knew would have traded their tip money for $15 an hour.
