Should Tipping be Banned?

[dust1n]

Check the edit.

Sure. But people tip because they know that the worker's wages are being supplemental by their income. If their income wasn't being supplemented by your tips, then tippers would be inclined to tip less or not at all because their tips are no longer necessary to insure. Costs would go up, but minimum wage in Australia is double that in America, but the costs of living are less then double.

]No you wouldn't... You'd come up with a million other reasons why I'm an incompetent server, go home, and blog about it.

No, I wouldn't, because I am a *FAIR* person, you aren't. I understand turns, you don't obviously.

Like I said, you can have an opinion when you know what you're talking about. Until then, you're the office worker that proposes to coach servers on how to do a job you have no experience doing. Good luck with that, I'm done talking to you.

You know I know what I am talking about, you sure don't. No 1st table wants you to delay their orders no matter how much free food you give them. Also, I bet you aren't getting your manager's permission to do this, huh?

I'll be happy to see you banned after insulting people.

You want fries with that?

LOL

I've worked in an office. I've worked at a deli. I've been a server for at least a dozen restaurants (one for four years). Heck, I've even done 6 hour rehearsals every day to prepare for a show as well as for touring companies. I was a full-time mom to four kids including one on the autism spectrum. I volunteer. I helped butcher dozens of chickens at a local farm to help feed local families. I've shoveled manure. I worked my way up to the top sales director in business and helped train other sales and marketing staff across the country in a matter of 18 months. I own my own business now. I know what it looks like to work hard and take care of people and take care of business.

Now, the only exception is being an administrator here at RF. I admit I slept my way to the top, and found a way to make Nick do all my work for me. The only thing I'm waiting for is payment for the lap dance I gave to Sunstone.

The smug satisfaction I'm getting here is the full display of what some servers have to put up with when someone with a serious entitlement mentality walks in.

I have never understood why anyone would want to irritate the person bringing them their food?

I will NEVER let someone take my plate back to correct it either. I will either eat it or send it back for a full refund.

In my opinion tipping should not be banned but all waiters should make the minimum wage. Although to be honest I would personally prefer that there be a living wage rather than a minimum wage.

No doubt. Every time I see somebody be rude or obnoxious to a waiter before getting their food, I have to shake my head in disbelief. People seriously have their heads too far up their rectums.

Yes. Also, tipping should be tipped and banning banned.

Are you serious, I was a server for 8 years and RELIED on my tips because my hourly wage at the time was 2.34$...now it's 2.83$...we work harder than you think. We have side work, team work etc etc to do. Don't go out to eat if you can't tip! I just got hired at one the most famous Italian Restaurants in NYC.

Yeah, I know. Most of us who have been there know.

And congratulations on the new job!

Preach! People love to act like they NEED to be waited on.

There seems to be an undercurrent with some folks of having the right to be treated like royalty without providing royal compensation. Or that commoners understand what are royal expectations, anyway.

I mean, really, people don't have to prepare the food, they don't have to cook it, they don't have to set the table, they don't have to think of condiments, they don't have to think of silverware, they don't have to think of drink refills, they don't have to clean up, and they don't have to sweep and vacuum and wash linens and fold napkins and fill sugars and salt/pepper shakers....heck, being waited on means you don't have to do anything except sit on your butt and enjoy somebody looking out for you.

My husband usually leaves the tip amount to me, because he knows that if he tips less than I think the server deserves, he'll never hear the end of it. So, he just nips it in the bud by passing the bill over to me to fill out and for him to sign.

You can't win with tipping with your spouse along with you. Tip too much, you want in her pants, tip too little, your a jerk. I tip 20% for good service if my wife is with me. I like to tip more if I am planning to come back.

 

[Revoltingest]

Mrs Revolt & I never differ over tipping.
But we don't discuss politics.

There's a Mrs. Revoltingest? Is she a groundskeeper... -ess (?) too?
