We're generally talking about adul…
This fake machismo around things like this, where the immense pressure and power that employers have over their employees is completely ignored, needs to go away.

What fraction of line cooks become well-paid chefs?

I experienced nothing but exceptional service in Italy.
As an Italian, I'm happy that at least somebody did get great service :) To be fair, it really varies so much between regions and even towns. Restaurants are usually ok, but regular shops in big cities... eh.
