Waiters are so special because they get paid less than the minimum wage.

So we make up for that by paying them $100/ hour in tips? We could get them up past wage if each table tips $5, not 20%.

If you really think waiting tables is so well-paid and easy, why don’t you become a server? Your eyes would be quickly opened.

I worked as both a nursing assistant at a major hospital in college and as a server. I made $13/hr as a nursing assistant (that is with the extra $2 for overnight premium) and averaged $30/hr serving tables. Guess which job was harder?

You averaged thirty because people tipped you. I’m guessing if they were like most people in this board you would’ve made $2-3/hour and would be singing a different tune

Think you’ll be waiting awhile…. Also suspect that the reason that might be given will probably be racist

You both seem so open minded but I’ll note it anyway: tipping in the US became popularized by restaurant owners who didn't want to pay Black workers a fair wage after the passage of the 15th Amendment -

It was Ruby Tuesday restaurant, 5 kids plus the birthday girl, two parents and grandparents. I was sitting next to the birthday girl, when the waitress brought the check to the table, the dad gave my friend permission to add up tip and sign the check. I watched her the whole time because I was curious how much the check was, my friend put down $30 as a tip and sign the check. I was just surprised why so much, because my parents and I always tip $1 for each person. My friend basically tip $20 over, I asked her why she tip so much, she said because it's 18% of the check, and that's how I learned to tip appropriately. Imagine if I didn't know better, I would have tipped a dollar my whole freaking life and people surprise to learn why some people don't tip at all or tip incorrectly. Tipping is also culturally bias, I'm Asian and I realize people in my community tip the same way as my parents, my husband is African-American, his parents also tip small amount and your husband is the opposite.

Everyone knows black people aren't known for tipping well.

I did not know this an am ashamed that I was not raised to be racist

I just read on Reddit a code name for black people in restaurants is please don't give me too many Canadian in one shift. Meaning try to be fair sitting black customers to all of the workers, not just one or two. Black people are terrible tippers period.

Stop tipping for expected services

Middle aged and older women are also known to tip less. I think this must be because they are all evil MILs.
