am I really late? 15% is lowballin the waiter?
wow.
I didnt know that was the case till I read this little article. one point that got me, and that has always got me though is the sense of entitlement when itcomes to being tipped. I mean I've never realkly had a problem with tipping.....Im always concerned if I leave enough, BUT in the article dude saidsomething like "Waiting tables is a job everyone should be forced to do at least once, if only to learn that it's not okay to snap your fingers whenyou want something, and also to find out what it's like to eke out a living on tips.". I get that its a thankless, low-paying job, but is it REALLYthe patrons fault that the waiter "NEEDS" tips to live? How havent waiters created a union to get better wages so that tyhey dont rely on tips tolive?
anyway....thats not my point. So now, 20% is the standard?
