why are we expected to tip?

  • Some places build tip into price and wages, some don't. When the customer us expected to pay the tip, that waiter may only get $2 an hour before tips. Then they may be waiting tables of teens who only order coffee and fries and sit there for 3 hours and take up space. It is neither the customer or the waiter at fault, it is the establishment. But they need a job, and customer like to eat at those crappy places.

    But I often wonder about those who complain about tipping, have they ever waited tables with horrible customers?

    • I wonder about every job I have worked where I am expected to go above and beyond my job description for minimum wage or slightly better on a regular basis and the people who I am providing services to still complain. Even worse when they expect me to do something that I'm not qualified to do or am not expected to do by my employer but stomp my ass if I don't do it their way as the aforementioned factors shouldn't matter I guess.

      A parent shat on me for my (very appropriate ) actions during a riot control situation which isn't even my job to handle. Like to see her tame a bunch of fucking criminals in a sweet and polite fashion...

      Thx for listening.

      • People like to complain and lay blame everywhere but in themselves. Sometimes people suck.
