Do, if you are at work, you should be paid. Do we only pay servers when they are actively waiting on tables? Do we only pay cooks when they are cooking your food. Do we only pay retail workers when they are dealing with a customer? Pay them to be there or get the fuck out of here.

    Do we only pay servers if they're waiting tables?

    Yes, actually. In the USA anyway. They're paid very low wages and that's a very common form of wage theft that goes unchecked and unreported: restaurants required servers to do pre-shift work at their normal sub-minimum-wage pay with no hope of making tips during that time. It's illegal but happens all the time
