I hate the whole process of tipping. Restaurants, hotels, guides etc. Use to be extra for exemplary service, now it is expected and relied upon to cover wages.
Just wish they would post a price and pay their staff appropriately.
Every place you go seems to have a tip jar. Reminds of the people standing on the corners.
Well, look at it this way. They can continue to rely on tips and you can continue to reward good service as you see fit or punish bad service if you see fit by not leaving a tip. Or, they can do away with tips, pay their employees the going rate and you can get really a schitty service from servers who have no incentive to do better and pay 40$ for a hamburger.
Well put, hourly people ain’t gonna jump and run to get your food to you.
Double bingo
Yeah....thats why they do it.....continued excellence.
Sheesh.
I have NO IDEA what you are trying to convey, but suffice it to say, I ENJOY tipping folks and especially for outstanding service. This past weekend we were in Alpharetta attending a Birthday bash for a well known Campfire member. The night before the party, my wife and I went to the only"stand alone" Ruth Chris for dinner and asked for the waiter recommended to us by said "Birthday Boy." The food was as always perfect, but the waiter even more so, My "fleet average" tip is 20% of the TOTAL tab (I don't f dick around with subtracting the tip bullshit), but this guy was so good I doubled the tip. Here's the bottom line to me: if a waiter/server goes out of their way to make my dining experience memorable, giving him an extra big tip is not going to affect me financially, but it might just help them and i enjoy the "gift of giving."...
Bad service is different: If I get that, I just go to the manager
