A gratuity is the privilege of the consumer's generosity "without being baited" what's next a tip scale too 10%/20% who made these rules?.....after all the person made the choice to take the job in the first place for that salary regardless of so called tips, etc,.

Thoughts?





I totally disagree with you here.. grin

"just doing your job" shocked

Waitresses are just doing their job, that just happens to be a tip oriented job... tips are expected... the salary is a basic $2-3 dollars an hour..
Yes they have a choice, and the chosen job is a tip oriented job.. If you are good at it , congenial, courteous, efficient, you do well, if not maybe get a non tip job , like singing at a nursing home smile

My thoughts, if you can't afford or desire to tip for your service, stay home and have burnt toast with your cold coffee. grin


So let me ask you that nurses aid at the nursing home changing bedpans all day long and colostomy bags should get tips right? just saying... Hmmmmmm?






Nope!!! as you mentioned , they had a choice and decided on a salary position, that is not tip oriented.. smile
