[QUOTE="GMforPowergamers, post: 6220153, member: 67338"] no but what sucks is that everyone was under paid, AND a small portion got tips that gave them MORE MONEY, and that small amount of people would complain to people making LESS money about it when we messed up but when we did good not even a thank you. Remember it is a big team bringing the food to the table (Wait staff, cook, dish washer, bus boy, greater, front register.) Out of those 6 roles, the person getting that tip does sometimes only 1/6 but at most 4/6 of that. I can't live on my wage either, it is why I need roommates and to cut corners... can I get extra money? BS plain and simple. In my state min wage is less then $9 an hour and MANY jobs that no one tips makes that. Many servers take home after tips MORE then that. I have seen people make $20+ waiting tables at good places, and I have worked for $8.22 an hour on my feet (Macy's store for the holidays) and on black Friday work 14 hour day with only a half hour non paid break... no one tips me for helping get you what you want or ringing the regester. If the argument is that crappy pay equal mandatory tips I should have LOTS of TIPS... Those other people are also working for crap pay and when they do great they don't get bonuses. If you see a single mom working part time at Mcdonalds do you tip her? If a guy is on his feet all day loading and unloading trucks do you tip him? If you ask a question to an employee at walmart do you tip them? I bet the answer is no...even though all of them make un livable wages. I do tip, but not if I didn't get good service. [/QUOTE]
