Waitress sloot posted this on fb about "Tipping" (pics)

I don't get it, why do people just not work as a waitress/waiter if this is such a big issue? I mean, surely it works itself out in the long run.

I prefer woman aged 30-40 they are more mature and have a mature look = attractive

Oh I couldn’t agree more but we aren’t convincing 23 year olds that anyone has value beyond 3 bangs and 26 years of age lol

LMFAO at Americans that have to tip for every single thing they pay for.

LMFAO at accepting a $2.50 an hour wage and then getting angry at customers for not paying your wage.

LMAAOOOOO.

If they did away with tipping altogether (which I think they should) and the employer had to make up the difference the customer would pay with the rising cost of food to take care of the rising cost of payroll.

Either way as a customer you’re paying the same amount. Unless you’re a big tipper I guess then you’ll be paying less.

I don't get it, why do people just not work as a waitress/waiter if this is such a big issue? I mean, surely it works itself out in the long run.

I don’t really think it’s that much of an issue. I know a girl who is in her early 40s and still works as a cocktail waitress. She told me in a weekend she’ll make $700.

Only move the decimal place for 10% tip crew.

Seriously fukk these people. I used to deliver pizza and never got butthurt on not giving a tip. I would just move on to the next delivery.

So would it of been different if she had ugly kids?

Tipping is fking retarded and should be removed from all small businesses.

Sometimes a person has to take what they can get.

There were 6.698 million job vacancies in the US in April 2018. (source 1).

There were 6.3 million unemployed people in April 2018 (source 2), and as at July 2017, the latest date for which figures are offered, 12.5% of the 160.32 million civilian labour force or 20.4 million people were underemployed, that is they were doing paid work but wanted more hours (source 3,source 4).

So for 6.698 million vacancies there were 26.7 million people who wanted work, or more work. It's true that not all vacancies are advertised, but it's also true, at least for professional jobs, that some jobs are advertised which really are being given to someone already, they're just going through the motions because HR and state law require it. But we can say that about 20 million people miss out.

Sometimes a person has to take what they can get. You'll understand when you move out from mum and dad's place.

[CityJaeger]

I often tip but 10% of the bill is my maximum. Fukkin waitress complaining about the amount of free money she receives while still being paid for the work she's supposed to do.

Tipping culture was a mistake.

[darkninja67]

hopefully she gets one of these for maximum rustling

Don't know if anyone posted about this but why the fuk is a single mom spending 138 on dinner in the first place?

[sumusikoo]

Tipping 5 on a 105 is far from right lol. You tip higher the more you spend because your table is requiring more attention.

The person who tipped 5 on a 105 is stingy af but I don't agree with businesses that pay minimum wage, some states the minimum a server is paid can be as low as 4 dollars,in Cali it's 10.5-11.

Edit: also the way tip is distributed varies, some places the person designated on the table takes the full tip, other places make you put everyone's tips in a jar and it is divided equally among all servers working that day.

Edit: not once in my post did I write servers receive less than the minimum wage with tips combined. Don't go full retard. lmao

I never tip, deal with it. Will never tip either, the whole tipping things is retarded as phuck.

They're doing their job and its their bosses job to pay them not mine, no one tips me at my job either.

If they want more money well, learn something better to do and get employed in a better field not cry and bitch about it.

Sooo...what about a nicer restaurant where food prices are $40+ a plate? You think they are doing more work than a place where plates are $15? Fuk no they aren't. They are delivering the food the same way. So the bigger the bill doesn't always mean the bigger the tip.

[northernlights7]

I understand that and wasn't trying to complain as I know there will be difficulty people for everything. Was using that as a backstory because I believe if servers were paid a decent wage, they would not try anywhere near as hard to satisfy the customer. Sure the higher ups could demand before performances or you would get fired, but then no one would want to work the weekends cause it gets busy as **** and they would get paid the same as the people who work weekdays and do less work.

I like serving and its good money, but I just gave that story to give another point of view on why tipping prob still exists

I hear stories from some european customers on how service is trash there compared to the US here and there

How are any of those issues different from any other job? As for the weekends issue specifically, like many other jobs do, some type of shift diffetential could be offered for working chittier shifts. None of this is complicated. Also, don't forget how the U.S. is the oddball of the world for their tipping culture, so the idea of not having that culture isn't some novel concept.

[Dasser]

she sounds like absolute trash

[EnforcerOTF]

i've had $300 tabs by myself sitting at the bar ordering drinks and steaks/etc and i always wonder if I should still tip 20% (I do anyway) but like they really didnt do much

[Roldz]

brb ordering a $100 bottle of wine requires a lot of attention and service at my table versus a $3 class of soda.

This chit right here is why tipping at a percentage is fukking retarded.

[MrAWatts]

She's right. If you can't tip more than $5 on a ticket that high, you shouldn't be eating out.

You sure about that?

[DesiredUserphag]

I've been known to tip 100%+ all the way down to 0%. Depends on the waiter/waitress. If you suck and treat me like sht then fuk off. If you're nice and I'm tipsy then I'm going to hook you up.

[MrAWatts]

You sure about that?

It's not like it's a surprise, tipping culture is known by people who are going to these places. And if you're going to these places and can afford a $100 liquid to drink away, it makes no sense that you'd also be a giant cheapskate.

[EmmaW4tson]

I dont really give a fuk about tipping but she is working for less than 3$ an hour. Her life choices have led her to that point so she needs to find out how she came to be in a position where 3 fukin dollars is acceptable.

[kingpiccolo]

This
If employees think it's not enough, they don't have to work there. Can't find a job elsewhere? Well that's the market mechanism, too bad
That said I'm Aussie and we all seem to find the idea of tipping stupid. Cultural thing I guess

I'm not one of those people advocating for $15 an hour minimum wage, I think you misunderstood. The employer is getting away with paying his employees 2 and hour or whatever because american tipping culture. He, like all other business owners, should be forced to pay his employees minimum wage. In the states its 7.25. I consider that livable in most places.

The bish is dumb, the owner is greedy. For every 5 dollar tip thats 5 he doesn't have to pay out of his pocket. The customers are essentially paying his employees.

[TappingTheZen]

She's right. If you can't tip more than $5 on a ticket that high, you shouldn't be eating out.

It's not about what you 'can' tip, it's about what you want to tip.

When you enter a restaurant, you are agreeing to pay the cost the restaurant outlines for your food, nothing more. Any tip is a luxury, not a right.

[MrAWatts]

Another low wage pleb that doesn't get it. $3 isn't acceptable to anyone, and that is the point. The norm, whether you like it or not, is hourly wage to cover taxes essentially, then tips is the actual income.

Now you have to think about the quality of service you want. The nicer the restaurant you go to, the higher the level of service you expect. If you think that servers are useless and low skill, then you apparently haven't experienced the various levels of quality in the service industry. A waiter at Olive Garden is not going to deliver the same service as a waiter at a $100/person fine dining place. And that person is also not going to deliver the same service as a 3 Michelin star place. You get what you pay for. I'd rather more skilled/attentive service people continue to move up and be compensated appropriately to deliver that above and beyond service.

Perhaps you should stick to Burger King.

[kingpiccolo]

Lol at all the cucks in here whining about tip amount. You go to a restaurant and get raped on the price of food and then after the restaraunt has it's way with you they drag their balls accross your face and make you supplement the income of their employees as well.. I tip well myself but lol at this entitled generation

This 100%

[cannonballdooky]

I'm glad that she's working instead of all these lazy fuks who pop out kids and just stay at home and collect government money, but writing a short story about a bad tip is not necessary. Might be time to become a stripper lol.

A tip is not mandatory, it's that simple. Whether you think it's ethically right or wrong, it is NOT mandatory, and therefore you should not expect a 20% tip at all times.

Why should people be forced to tip, just so restaurants can pay less to their employees?

You claimed it's a poverty mindset when you negged me for my opinion (just lol), but the fact is, the only place this entitled tipping culture really exists is USA; surely that should tell you something about the ridiculous logic involved? It's a restaurants responsibility to pay their employees responsibly, not the customers. THE ISSUE IS WITH THE EMPLOYERS.

That's not to say i don't tip, i often do, but people should be able to choose whether or not to tip without being demonised. Again; its the employers responsibility to pay their staff, not the customers.

[MrAWatts]

This 100%

Bodybuilders against tipping crew

If you feel like you are getting raped by the price of the food you simply should not be eating there since it is clearly out of your budget. Negs on RC

Im paying for the convenience of it, doesn't mean it isn't way overpriced. One thing i am not going to do is pay the restaurants waiting staff because the boss refuses to and is lining his pockets in the process.
