So it seems to say in Or Hachaim Siman 169 that if you go to a restaurant you have to offer your waiter a little bit of all of the food he serves you? Why aren’t we Makpid on this???
Where does it say where you go to a restaurant? It says shamash. A shamash usually means a servant where you pay him to serve you, like he lives in your house or something to that effect. I don’t think we have this nowadays.

I think a tip suffices even if there were such a Halacha. Either way the restaurants give them meals so they aren’t starving.
The Biur Halacha (in ?”? ???)gives a reason why the olam isn’t noheg to be careful nowadays. I think he’s saying that this din is only where he doesn’t eat from the foods that the ??? ???? gives him. But where the ??? ???? gives him to eat then you don’t have to give him first. I think anyways WIY is right. He’s not eating with you. He has his own food from the restaurant and he’s not eating with you. He’s just serving you. By a servant he eats with you and you’re responsible for feeding him. By a restaurant you’re not
In the 70’s I worked as a waiter in catskill hotels. The owners were makpid that the waiters were fed hotel food.
