Probably can also be used for tipping taxis, hotel and other service crews.

I worked as a bartender for years. Plenty of times there was no tip.

@emcdonald2s You want ALWAYS? Change jobs to something that is salary based. There are NO guarantees in life.

  • Reply

@emcdonald2s Nope. It's always fine not to tip someone. Your pay isn't my problem, nor is your conscious decision to opt for a lower-paying job packaging to-go orders instead of waiting on tables

If the service sucks, why in the Holy Hell would I still tip 15% to my waiter?!?!

@cwhite2v I never tip if the service sucked.

  • Reply

@cwhite2v I agree, but if the service sucks, did you ask to speak with the manager? It's their job to make sure the service doesn't suck...

@amoore2x If your work quality sucked, why in the Holy Hell would you get paid?

It's high time we ended the practice of tip-based wages. If restaurants want to pay a commission or a flat living wage or whatever, that can work.

@gholmes2z It's not fair to put these employees at the mercy of their customers or their cultural understandings of when to tip and when not to tip.

  • Reply

@gholmes2z Opinionated customers should not be the sole arbiter of whether an employee gets paid well for a day or not.

I tip waitstaff and others because I know they rely on that money, but I wish the restaurant would stop putting that responsibility on me after I've had my meal.

@fharvey32 You're proposing a paycut for probably 90% of the people that get tip-based wages. I'm sure that will fly.

  • Reply

@fharvey32 The best way I can think for restaurants to handle this is to give waitstaff a direct 15% commission of the bill

@bcollins34 How the hell did you infer that...?

  • Reply

@bcollins34 That certainly wouldn't be a pay cut, but it would end the system of servers working almost entirely for tips.

Just read the comments around here. They don't have to work for tips they?deserve?them just by virtue of showing up.?

?I don't mind throwing down a few extra money here or there to help someone out who is not making nearly enough, but as you put it, I don't like being forced into anything.

@nhamilton38 I get that, I do, but I don't think it's fair that the customer has to carry that responsibility.

I've found the overwhelming majority of servers to be somewhere between good and excellent.

  • Reply

@rmorgan3b If you want to argue that servers should be tipped, fine; but do not support that argument with the notion that if we do not tip servers then they will make less than minimum wage; that is simply false.

@rcoleman3a you're giving facts instead of opinions.

@rcoleman3a That is interesting

@tharvey3d What the law requires and what normally happens in workplaces are sometimes very different things.

  • Reply

Waitstaff who start complaining to their employer and wanting their wages made up might quickly be labeled as "poor servers", as indicated by their low tips, and fired.

@dbaker3f What the law requires and what normally happens in workplaces are sometimes very different things.

  • Reply

@dbaker3f Whether they were fired because they were asking for their legal rights or because of poor job performance is hard to prove.

  • Reply

@jpalmer3h Good to know.

  • Reply

There is absolutely. no. way. tips make up 80-100% of a waiter's salary

  • Reply

@mwashington3j ?just do the math on that ridiculous statistic.?

  • Reply

@mwashington3j ?If they really are making that far below minimum wage when they aren't getting tips they better take it up with their employer, because it isn't legal.

  • Reply

@mwashington3j If a restaurant really needs to jack up prices even higher than they are already marked up to pay its employees fairly, someone is probably getting a larger cut of the pot than they deserve.?

  • Reply

@emarshall3m The bottom line is take it up with your employers if you're getting screwed.?
