tipping

Double-posted Changing to make it look like a real response.



Zero to 20% - more when the service truly warrants it fer the sit-a-spell service. A buck or so at buffets if hostess is mindfull and keeps the "joe" comin'. Change at the coffee house if there's a tip jar and they get my "discriminating order" right! Never for take out and a buck or two if there's no delivery charge on the pizza.

Had a penny thrown back at me once reinforcing my complaint regarding the waitress' lack of service. I believe the penny tip says more and is not confused with "That sumbitch must a plumb fergot ta tip me!"

I don't understand our tipping system. Waitresses can legally be paid something like 2$ an hour, yet tipping is completely voluntary. It would make more sense to me to pay the waitress or waiter the normal minimum wage and let the customers tip for exceptional service rather than have it be the norm.

It's the food service way of shifting costs of business to the consumer.

Lots of places do it with extra or hidden fees that get tacked on to the end of what you buy or have done. But with food service it's the norm.

Automobile sales are the masters of this: dealer prep fee, delivery fee, document charge, advertising charge...

The employee must still make enough in tips for their specific minimum wage requirement. If they don't make enough tips, the employer is supposed to cover that difference.

There is no good delivery pizza in Oregon, none. So, mine comes Fed Ex from Chicago. And I don't tip the Fed Ex man.

Our government is pretty good at it as well.
