I may try this craigslist thing, I kayaked with a guy last weekend saying he posted an add to teach people to roll a kayak for 80 bones an hour. He said he got people from Philly with large pockets lining up. I couldn't believe it.

A lot of places put them in a pot and distribute between all of the staff every week.
But this place the tips go in the bosses pockets.

It's not just my resteraunt, my friend works in a VERY VERY classy place and the tips go to the bosses pocket, this is in a place where people leave like £30 tips. If you get caught taking your tips you get fired on the spot.

I know what you mean, working for a bank is horrible.

I'm an 'economic advisor' and it's pretty shit at times, but it's awesome at times to. A few months ago I got hired as an outside/neutral person to see a deal between Petrobras and the NZ government about oil exploration in the Great South Basin. But because I wasn't a member of parliament, I wasn't allowed to view some of the information, So I did nothing and still collected a paycheck.
