When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.
How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:
An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)
A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).
Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.
When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.
* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

In some places, as in the restaurants I noted above, lucky or veteran waiters get well located tables that attract more generous customers. A waiter working these tables can earn more in tips than in salary (and obviously he doesn't declare that money for tax purposes). Some businesses whose employees receive tips try to re-distribute these tips more fairly to reward workers who are paying attention to all aspects of good service and not just to flattering the tipping customer and leaving other work that doesn't generate tips to his colleagues. Other people who get tips (to name only a few) are chofers, delivery people, tour guides, and hotel employees.
