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.
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 love 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.
