NG a server that performs an excellent service derserves and adequate tip. I am not sure where you got the impression that Surepip or myself expect someone to pay our kids way, atleast I know for sure that is NOT the case with me. Please don't confuse this with the political threads...
Tipped employees and commissioned employees are too seperate animals. If you related the two I guess a scenario could be someone shorting a Tupperware representative for the total bill. Just not the same thing...
I am just curious. If you were a waitress and had provided good service for an $18.25 meal, would you be satisfied with a $1.25 tip? No offense but I am glad not everyone feels this is adequate...
This is nothing more than a myth, if that. I would like to see your source for a legitimate statistic. If you have ever been in the restaurant business, then you would know that this is not correct...
I wish I had the answer for you. The same thing happens to my daughter. She waitress and goes to college full time. If you can't afford to tip, you shouldn't go out for dinners...
