Azn_Psycho 02/27/24 9:07:14 PM #19:	I don't like tipping but I do it because it isn't the staff's fault that the system and/or their bosses suck. I have only seen one restaurant ever banned tipping but that pretty much became an experiment as the ban was lifted after like 6 months. Such a shame too since that's probably the only real way to get the system to change. Legislation would be the most straightforward way, but I doubt it will happen in my lifetime. I believe the only way to change the system would be to have restaurants that ban the practice and capable of giving their staff living wages thrive and such.

Aristoph 02/27/24 10:10:00 PM #30:	If I was ever handed a receipt like that, they would get $0 for the tip and the restaurant would lose a customer. Wouldn't bother going to a manager or anything that extreme 'cause there's no point and I'm not actively out for the person's job. And I'm sure any server obnoxious enough to pull that would be bitching loud enough for the rest of the night that the manager would find out anyway. The fastest way to lose your tip is to act like you're entitled to it. But if you just give me good service and are polite, I'm usually a pretty generous tipper. The system is fucking stupid, but that's not the server's fault. And if a few extra bucks is going to make or break my finances I wouldn't be dining out in the first place. --- PSN ID: Aristoph https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCj5ydFYxnEODxpQeBswmiAA <cite>Aristoph posted [p:979083674] in Receipt of...

A lot of wait staff are simply trying to pay their way through college. A few dollars wont come close to helping them. If you arent going to tip $20+ then go eat at McDonalds.

Glob 02/27/24 10:47:01 PM #43:	thronedfire2 posted... So you want minimum wage level service when you go out to eat? I sure don't. those servers aren't nice to you because they want to be. Thats not an issue in any other country. If you dont want to do the work well in any job, you tend to end up leaving, either because you want to or because your boss wants you to. Dark_Arbron posted... I'm sure someone working 50+ hours a week and only just getting by has time to attend college or university at the time. I'm also sure the system doesn't intentionally keep people stuck in that situation by design. From your earlier posts in another thread, it sounds like you're middle class and pretty well off, so it makes sense you look down on those at the bottom and think "well they should just work harder or get educated in a different field." Im well off now, but I grew up very disadvantaged and its taken me a long time to get to a point of being comfortable. I dont look down on people in service jobs; Ive worked in several myself. Youre right that the system isnt fair. However, neither is your argument. I claimed that they should be earning a living wage by default. You then come back and tell me theyre working a 50 hour week. If theyre earning a living wage, thats not necessary. And yes, it is possible to train and study while working full time. It can be hard, I dont dispute that. But its not like Im suggesting something I wouldnt be willing to do. I have had full time jobs while undergoing all of my training and qualifications from the age of 16. I had two full time jobs when I was getting my A levels and it was grim. I wouldnt wish that on anybody. However, Im also a realist. If your skill set is one that makes you easily replaceable, youre never going to command a competitive wage. That doesnt mean that I dont believe in everybody getting a fair and liveable wage. <cite>Glob posted [p:979084193] in Receipt of...

Because they usually get paid an actual decent wage, at least in comparison. There are shitty places like Denny's/IHOP who will start them around $9, however at most restaurants it at least starts at $12 and at mine they start you at $16, which compared to servers in TX it's 2.13 + tips and if they don't make that within an hour then they get paid the difference up to $7.25, the minimum wage. That's state law, employers could pay more than that, however they intentionally like paying servers as little as possible so I've only seen the places on the local military base offer $10 + tips. --- My metal band, Ivory King, has 2 songs out now - allmylinks.com/ivorykingtx (all of our links there so you can choose which one you'd prefer to use) <cite>Kradek posted [p:979084447] in Receipt of...

No. The tip gets split among waitstaff, porters, dishwashers, and oftentimes cooks.
