I don't think that's really valid here - you're asking them for an opinion of their job, not their opinion of you. What they think of their job has nothing to do with how I'll rate them. Heck, I may rate them higher or tip them better if I feel sorry for them not making much money.

Yes, but they don't necessarily know how you specifically will act. It's better to just assume that having a positive and happy discussion is better.
