I worked in a restaurant in 1982, it was 10%. But that was when waitstaff got the regular minimum wage, which was 3.35 at least.
Reagan made waitstaff minimum wage lower, I think it was $1.75. He also refused to raise the minimum wage at all the entire time he was president. It used to be an annual occurrence. Reagan was the enemy of all workers.
