I'd love to tip.
If it was on my own terms.
Remember when 10% was a good tip?
If everything, under a waitresses control, about a visit was as it should be,
seated at a clean table, pleasant, quick drinks never empty, attentive without
being annoying, I'm happy to reward her.
However, if she is barely engaged, there is 0 reason to tip.
I didn't hire her, can't fire her, ain't [bleep] her, have 0 care if she makes money.
If she can't maximize her income by doing the job well, those who tip her are
only encouraging her lazy, entitlement, mind set.
Our daughter waited tables. And did it well.
Not many blue collar men in our county earn what she die in hourly takehome
dollars. Working a family restaurant after school until 8 and bringing home
$100 to 150 per 4 hour night.
They don't need charity if they work.
Tipping is about like giving to the Walmart bums.
It's not about the Bum. It's about how much $5 can puff up the "giver".
