Zachnorn 04/19/12 10:34:00 AM #16:	But I also wish we were like other countries, and were never expected to tip. This. I remember being told specifically not to tip in Australia, because waiters/waitresses actually get paid a decent wage. I'm sure that wage is at least minimum wage, rather than being paid under minimum wage like in the United States. Tipping is an amazing system. This is all that I know from topics about tipping and from the play Nickel and Dimed rather than actual research, but I've heard that the tips allow restaurants to pay people less than minimum wage. If they can't get the tips needed to make their hourly wage the minimum wage, then the restaurant needs to pay the difference. Of course, the employees will suffer because they just became more expensive. The other thing is that apparently, it's not even just the waiters and waitresses that need to get tipped - the cooks also need to get tipped by those waiters and waitresses. In theory, if all customers were to not tip, everyone would end up getting paid what they are supposed to get paid anyway. It's just so much part of the culture now that you have to tip. Worse, I have heard that tipping is starting to be expected for takeout. I don't know how true all that is, but from what I understand, the restaurant industry is pretty screwed up. -- Everything is overrated - <D I would gladly take 90 whippings and be sentenced to 2 years in jail than have my account warned. - NotYou <cite>Zachnorn posted [p:1052225] in Tipping is...

foolm0ron 04/19/12 11:15:00 AM #39:	%-based tipping is often dumb. Does a plate worth $20 really take twice as much effort to serve than a plate worth $10? If a plate is worth $20, but the restaurant has a 50% off deal so it only costs $10, does the server deserve less for serving the same exact plate? -- _foolmo_ mobile computer <cite>foolm0ron posted [p:1052248] in Tipping is...

My Immortal 04/19/12 11:15:00 AM #40:	I rarely tip less than 15%, but I had one server a few weeks back who left me so flabbergasted that I couldn't tip her well. My favorite story is after I paid with my credit card, she came back with the slip, declared "I don't have a pen." and walked away. My first thought is she was going to be back with a pen, but no. I'm not sure how she expected me to fill in the tip & sign. I had to go to the bartender and ask to his pen. -- http://www.backloggery.com/myimmortal <cite>My Immortal posted [p:1052249] in Tipping is...

My Immortal 04/19/12 11:16:00 AM #41:	Does a plate worth $20 really take twice as much effort to serve than a plate worth $10? Quite often, yes. A $20 plate is more likely to include salad/soup, bread, things of that nature, which does require more effort than bringing a sandwich with fries and nothing extra. If a plate is worth $20, but the restaurant has a 50% off deal so it only costs $10, does the server deserve less for serving the same exact plate? No. Tipping is based off of the total of the check before discounts. -- http://www.backloggery.com/myimmortal <cite>My Immortal posted [p:1052250] in Tipping is...

My Immortal 04/19/12 11:31:00 AM #49:	Well, it's a silly point. Serving at expensive restaurants gets you larger tips per table. That's the way it works. Same way that if McDonald's had servers that you were supposed to tip, they'd make next to nothing. The flip side of it is that the more expensive restaurants get less tables per night, so even though they make more per table, a server at a middle of the line price restaurant (i.e. Applebee's) can still make roughly the same because of volume. -- http://www.backloggery.com/myimmortal <cite>My Immortal posted [p:1052258] in Tipping is...
