A question on tipping

[LoneLaugher]

I am a leftist?

You think you're not?

I know I'm not.

Just because you are a mere half inch to the right of Lenin does not exclude you from the category of leftist.

Who are you again? Are you someone I should know?

No worries. I don't want to know you either. From your comments it is clear that you are another typical leftist dirt bag.

Really? You don't want to know me? You mean we can't be friends? Come on.....lighten up. I'm attracted to your intelligence and wit. Let's be pals! Please!

When I was in Atlanta went to a mostly black bar to get dinner. Automatically took the tip out on my bill. I told the bartender to bad if it wasn't automatically taken out he would've got more. But I heard most black people don't tip.

That's right. Blacks don't tip for shit. You had it automatically deducted for this very reason.

I hope you got decent service, assuming you are white. I have been to black joints and received shitty service while tables around me occupied by blacks received wonderful service. I guess I'll that is "social justice" in action.

Actually the bartender was cool, I hated not leaving him more. That is the first time I had the tip taken out.

a tip should be 20%.
I doubt any of the righty fascists have ever worked for tips.
they're pissed because in all the years they worked in fast food they never got any .

I have actually...

My first job was at a Irish Pub, and I was a bus boy at the age of thirteen years old...

My next job I took was a cook and I made a little more than a Bus boy made and never wanted to do the waitstaff nonsense...

Then my first business was a Window Cleaning\Janitorial Company and I earned tips daily.

So yeah I made a living off tips, and my tips that I give ranges from twenty to thirty percent of the total bill because the waitstaff need that money...

Years ago tips were little non taxable presents. Now each ticket has a tax on 15% whether they got the 15% tip or not.

I do hope that the government isn't still taxing tickets when businesses specify no tipping.

 

[Kosh]

I try to leave cash tips . I like using cash at restaurants . It annoys the fuck out of me when everyone pulls out cards . Pain in the ass .

Sorry you are supposed to give all your money to government then let them give what they think you are worth, it is the far left way after all!

You spew your religious dogma, yet do not follow your own religion..

Your welfare isn't taxable is it?

And this proves why the far left is the most dangerous religion on the planet.

And if you knew anything, you would know that taxes are taken out of your welfare check!

So...A question for the members here.
You go out to your favorite restaurant. Not a chain, but a privately owned eatery. Or lets say your favorite local pub. As you enter, you see a new sign on the door. It says.."dear valued customers. As of ( date) we here at Joes Bar and Grill have instituted a no tipping policy. Instead, a surcharge of 20% ( or whatever...20% is the most common figure) will be added to the bill for each meal/drinks served. This is being done in response to new local regulations that mandate we pay a minimum wage to our employees. The surcharge is to cover the additional cost of labor. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause"...
Read this column. Then comment.....Please note. The higher minimum wage is just ONE reason restaurant owners are moving away from tipping.

oh...Readers may be curious as to my stance....
Having been in the food and beverage business for 5 years I can say without a doubt that I would MUCH prefer to be compensated via gratuities. I believe the gratuity is the ultimate merit system as most normal people appreciate the hard work and attentiveness of a good server/bartender and will tip appropriately. During my tenure I found that to be the case. I would much rather deal with being paid in cash.....Just peel off the 8% to declare to the feds and off I went. And being able to yank down anywhere from $100 to $150 in a 6/7 hour shift would mean being paid a salary up to $30 per hour. Nobody is going to do that.
Even at $15 per hour, I would have LOST income..Plus I believe that paying servers/bartenders by the hour removes incentive to go that extra mile to enhance the customer's experience.

I'd decide that the owner of that restaurant is full of shit and I'd find a new favorite place to eat.

An honest restaurant owner would just announce the no tipping policy and raise prices. Alternatively, he might not kill tipping and just raise prices. I don't need to be treated like an imbecile by a restaurant owner who thinks I don't know anything about how the economy works.

But you are a leftist. Therefore, you really do not know anything about how the economy works.

Just leave your 20% like you are supposed to and shut the fuck up, scum bag.

I am a leftist?

You think you're not?

I know I'm not.

I don't get it, what's the punch line, just that you're a klown? You're right there with the rest of the socialists. Oh yeah, you don't like the word, so you aren't one, LOL. Actually, it doesn't work that way ...

Check out Kaz.....bringin' the funny! Awesome.

This little ploy has been spreading.

Coffee shop I visit most mornings tried a 10% mandatory service charge several weeks ago. They posted it prominently on the menu.

Some people didn't notice that and were surprised when they saw it added to their check.

A few deducted it and paid only for the food and left no tip.

Some just got up and walked out.

A very few walked out without paying at all.

Within 2 days the place was empty and the wait-staff was job hunting. The best of them were quickly hired elsewhere.

The policy quickly changed but the best waitresses (for some reason the male staff what had been job hunting didn't get hired elsewhere) had left and some long-time customers did not come back.

Sounds like fantasy fiction.
