[QUOTE="Thunderfoot, post: 5688455, member: 34175"] Nope, restaurants and bars where the staff interacts with customers for more than asking "do you want fries with that?" are only required to pay their servers a percentage of minimum wage set by the state. Of course, tips, are the primary source of revenue for these folks. My son was working in a sports bar where the tips, frankly, sucked butt most of the time. People would sit at his tables watching games for hours order three drinks and a burger and leave a .50 tip. (I would have found where they lived and torched the place, but that's why I don;t do customer service.) His new job is much more of a family dining atmosphere so the tips are much better - for instance he pulled a $100 tip on one table the other night. America may have some weird things that we do, but at least we know how to tip. :D [/QUOTE]
