idontknowjustgivemeaname asked: There is a serious problem when it comes to racial/group differences in tipping.
It is not right that servers be treated horribly and not paid for their services.
It is also not right that a member of a certain group is looked down on because of what the majority does. However many times servers get disinheartened and start to do these things.
Unfortunately these two things happen very often. The only solution I can see is a better education about proper dining etiquette and tipping to the general public of different groups of people who commonly treat servers/bartenders inappropriately.
I really think there is something that needs to be done, because this cycle does nothing to ease racial tensions, it only makes them worse. Any ideas on what could be done to educate the general population?
i dont think you understand the service industry very well drbernice. The simple point is that people don’t tip on the quality of service, and they should. I’m asking what can be done to educate people about how they are supposed to tip.
funny that the comment comes from someone named church… thats exactly the people i was referring to.
You get paid 2.13 an hour church. You think its fair that people should work for 2.13 an hour? not to add that most servers tip out 3% of what they sell to hosts/bussers, so if a table doesnt tip you- you pay to wait on that table. So you think its right that a server should pay to wait on you since you can’t afford it. Heres the simple facts: If you cant afford to tip atleast 15% on what you order, you cant afford to order it.
HERE IS WHY: restaurants keep the price of food down by not paying their waitstaff hourly wages (2 dollars an hour usually covers taxes, most servers never get a paycheck). IF THE COST OF SERVICE WAS ADDED INTO THE BILL, THE COST OF YOUR BILL WOULD BE HIGHER.
Servers are working for you. They arent doing it out of fun, if you don’t pay them because you “can’t” afford it, event hough you could afford the $50 meal, then youre a selfish disgusting person.
apparently some people seem to think this question asked, “are you a cheap jerk who doesn’t tip?”
If youre one of those evil people who doesnt tip on purpose, please don’t respond to this question. Youre just a terrible person.
