[quote:Anonymous Coward 21549789:MV8yMTI1NDM5XzM1ODY2MjYxX0E2QTU4MDM2] [quote:Anonymous Coward 19271799:MV8yMTI1NDM5XzM1ODY2MjQ0X0U0RjkxNjNC] Sorry, wait-staff at restaurants do not deserve more than 5% of the before tax total on the bill. More than likely a waiter has more than a single table for an entire hour. (And if they don't that's not my problem). A 5% tip puts them more than on-par with minimum wage per an hour. If they want more than minimum wage, they need to get some ambition and go to a different industry. Sorry, that is the hard truth. GLP is strange. One day the site is all about how the capitalist system and hard work/ambition pays off regardless of the wage. The next day the site cries about low tipping in the free market. I am confused. Paying 15-18% of my total to someone who does nothing more than bring food and pour water is fucking stupid. Now, I am more interested in the idea of tipping the cooks. [/quote] You should give careful consideration before returning to a restaurant where you have left a 5% tip. Enjoy your meal. [/quote]
Original Message
"I give God 10%," Bell wrote on the receipt, scratching out the automatic tip and scribbling in an emphatic "0" where the additional tip would be. "Why do you get 18?" (There were more than eight people in Bell's party, triggering the auto-tip.)
