If you don't like what I have to say, tough. It's your right to disagree with what I say, but I will still tell it like it is. I don't get tips in my job, and I work longer hours than most servers. Being an officer in the Navy does not afford me the opportunity to go home every day and be with my friends and family. An enlisted person does the same thing and gets paid even less. Neither of us get tips, but even so, we give our service freely. Perhaps waiters should follow our example of service.

I'm tired of hearing a server's sob stories about how "poor" tipping is the customers' faults. Who is responsible for how much you get paid? The employer is. Don't try to pawn off the responsibility on the customer for paying you enough simply because your employer rules you with an iron fist. Be grateful that you get tips in the first place, because tipping is NOT mandatory. Gratuity is meant to be given for exceptional service. If you can't earn it, don't gripe about it.

@trigga1uk

If thats the case why dont they include it directly in the tab?

I always start at 20%, if you suck as a waiter, it drops down to zero and you deserved it. If you're amazing I might go as high as 30%. So don't f'ing complain about not getting tipped if you didn't earn it because tipping isn't mandatory.

@tncooks If tipping were mandatory, it would be law. Again, the customer is not responsible for the pay system which a tipped employee experiences. The employer is fully responsible for paying their employees a livable wage.

don't forget that often servers have to tip out their 'helpers' even if they didn't help a percentage of their sales wether they earned that much or not. I have had to tip out up to 50% of what I earned in tips for a night, sucks!!! you have to tip out a bartender even is you never go to the bar for a drink for your guests. who made this rule??

[tncooks]

@MelkorHimself read the menu stupid  it says on there what normal tipping is and tipping is mandatory and even included in your bill if there are 6 or more guests some high end places include the tip no matter how many people and does no one realize your server has to tip out each of their bar tenders bus boy and food runners 2-4% of their sales irregardless of wether they made that much.

AT times a server may have to tip out 50% or more to their helpers thus reducing their income

@electrahunter And if the menu prices increase, Capitalism 101 says that fewer people will patronize that establishment, thereby rendering the owner S.O.L.
