restaurant tip share
There is a discussion (mostly democrats) that restaurants be forced to pool the tips, and distribute them to every worker. Back of the house employees would "benefit" from server tips.
This is a horrible idea. This is yet another measure by democrats who truly don't understand specific industry, or how the real world works. I assume that they are trying to do an end around, since the forced $15 minimum wage is such a (predictable) disaster government needs to butt the F$@%# out |

GEEEZUS. |
My 1st job ever, pearl diver (back house) at a French restaurant. $2.40/hr. I'd work Friday from 3pm til midnight and Saturdays 2pm til midnight. No breaks, unless it was slow (never), no lunch. I would be so famished by 10 pm or so I would eat chunks of un-eaten beef wellington off the plates coming back. Ahhh, the good old days.
What are pros and cons? What do front and back people get paid? I could see the back house people liking the idea, and the front perhaps not wanting to share the tips. Good Luck. |
Don’t Dummacrats love the words share the wealth?

I prefer Japan. No tipping. People get paid a workable wage. Customer service is stellar.

Japan, Asia in general, Europe, South America, etc........America is pretty much the only place with a retarded tipping culture. Just about like everything else we touch, we've completely f*cked up even having the ability to sit down for a meal and paying for it in a normal way.

I haven't really been following this, but from the news I saw it was the Trump administration that advocated tip sharing. It was an Obama era regulation that prevented tip sharing, and Trump wanted to over turn it. Can you post some links to show that Democrats are the culprits and not the GOP darl'n Trump.

Some places here already tip share... I know the Ruby Tuesday my ex-wife used to work at did it. I thought the concept was ridiculous then too... It basically made the bad employees worse and the good employees not care to continue being good. A percentage of the tip pool went to pay the busboys too.
While on the tipping subject... I tip well for reasonably good service, but have made an example out of very poor service before as well. I've never worked in the food service industry and was always told by those who had (who all tipped well no matter the service) I just didn't understand and all service deserved a fair tip. I also struggle to understand restaurants who do nothing more than quickly bring your food after ordering that have a tip amount on receipts... I don't recall ever leaving a tip to pay for service that hasn't been rendered yet. I may be the only person that thinks that way, but I'm don't feel it's necessary to leave a tip for someone only delivering my food. One last thing as it seems to be a solid division among people who tip... Do you make your tip an even dollar amount or the total an even dollar amount? I always make the total even as I'm OCD and it makes more sense to me, but have been told that's rude to give the server an odd dollar amount as they don't want to sit there making change at the end of the day. :confused: |

Long story short, it is an annoyance to the servers. Now on the other side of the coin...as a customer ALWAYS take your customer copy and receipt even if you just throw it out right away. I have known more then one unscrupulous server that would add a few bucks to the final tip if you left the customer copy behind. Server then knows you likely have no way to know what the final bill actually was if you ever look at your statement if you leave the receipt behind. |
