PHOTO: Man Refuses to Tip Bartender, Leaves This Note Instead

At $15.00 an hour, the tip should be a thing of the past. The tip was for those who were getting below minimum wage.

Having said that, I had a relative who was a waiter, and he made that much or more in tips. A lot of people who were getting tips, also were not paying taxes on some, or all of them.

Of course it depends a lot on the place you are working

 

Interesting that people will argue that no upper limit on income should be placed on CEO's, yet waiters making $15 an hour is plenty of money.

I am against government being in the business setting wages, high or low.

 

Tips are for good service, not as a way to compensate for lack of wages.

Tipping is so engrained (used my Word of the Day) into this culture that it has become an obligation. It is not the case in many other places, especially where waiters make a living wage.

If one chooses, for what ever reason, not to tip here; one is remembered as a cheap person.

 

Suppose you and your wife go out to a fancy restaurant and have a fabulous dinner, with excellent service. Judging by the menu prices you assume the wait staffs are being adequately paid. Would you hold back a tip?

Mrs. Rolf and I tip for well-prepared food and good service, regardless of price or location. We do so as a courtesy and as a 'Thanks', not as an obligation.

 

No "maximum wage" either. Why should there be a minimum but not a maximum? And I have known some occasions where a founder or CEO or president decided to forego any compensation for a time. Why isn't that illegal by minimum wage laws? If it's because they're salaried, why can't any employee be salaried?

 

Because those aren't personal services. Well, maybe the doctor.

I recently bought a new sofa and I tipped the guy that roped and secured it in my pickup truck bed for me. I tip my barber.

Simply said, if one wants to tip...fine. If one does not want to tip...fine, but don't complain about bad service if the wait staff remembers.

 

No, because I bag my own groceries. Anyways, I wouldn't tip the cashier.

 

Rev. try living on $15.00 an hour and see how much your lifestyle changes.

It is a restaurant. If you do not like the prices charged, or how much the waiter or waitress makes you do not have to go. But if you do please do not insult good service with no tip.

 

I am not sure where people live where grocery stores still have people that bag groceries. A cashier will bag groceries here if the person is elderly or cannot do it themselves. I always carry my own bags and bag my own groceries.
