The number indicates how many people are at the table. A “4 top” is 4 people at a table, and pretty standard. A “10 top” is not only 2.5x as many people as normal, it’s also chaotic to seat and serve normally. You will also generally have to split out bills, some times in a complex way. Worst of all, the size of the table diffuses responsibility for tipping, generally leading to paltry or no tips. This will occasionally go the other way, with someone being generous as it’s usually an event, but the “5 minutes before close” crowd doesn’t tend to be generous.
So it’s a hard table, that won’t pay well, right before you were about to go home for the night.
First, what does "paltry"mean (non-native and shit-faced at that, sorry).
Second, why do US workers accept this (assuming you are US)? That sounds like kerosene to revolution.
Paltry means “minimal, pitiful, lacking, without substance.”
People put up with it because we have no social services of any note and need to keep a job to live indoors. Lots of times, people don’t put up with it long term, which is why lots of service jobs have horrendous turnover of staff.
I told my colleagues, I’m proposing the following new policy:
Your luggage isn’t weighed. Instead, the passengers hopeful are put up in a line. One after another, they get their luggage thrown in the face. Those who survive may board the plane.
Additionally, luggage scales will henceforth only have one reading: “If you need to weight it, it’s too heavy, idiot.”
Also, for adding the weights in both reasonable and imperial, you are the MVP of the day.
Hitting people isn’t funny.
Edit: I guess about half of you think that hitting people is funny.

Say that again when you’ve worked at an airport and handled the idiots’ stupid heavy luggage.
…or in food service and had a 10 top walk I. the door 5 min before closing on a slow ass night
I don’t know what that means, exactly, but 10 sounds too much in any case.

Me, travelling with a 7kg/15lbs trolley while my wife is 1kg/2lbs under the maximum limit I appreciate what you do for women.

That’s why your BDSM parties fail.
Hitting people isn’t funny. It’s hot. 😏

Violence solves all of our problems
Yes it is. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slapstick
Violence is never the answer. Violence is the question. And the answer is yes.
