[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm back to work part time and saw 'I'm not tipping 18-20% anymore, because you all make minimum wage' only once since I started a month ago. Two young people left me $5 on $110. From that sale, $2.50 goes to runner, $2.50 to busser, and $2.5 goes to bartender. This table cost me money, but I'm glad they came, because they had 4 drinks. The establishment need money to be able to pay us.
The other was two in their 50s businessmen. They spent $140 and tipped $20. This was for no reason other than ' we know you get paid minimum and I'm letting you know by tipping less'. 
The bigger problem right now is that the workers we have now don't compare to what to workers we had 25 years ago. The business has to have extra 1-2 servers to do the same job, but service still suffers. They are on the phone, playing/horsing around, arguing about tables instead of going there, and something else I'd rather not mention, because parents would be up in arms. It is so hard to find good workers. The resumes we get are horrific with 10 job changes in short time.
Please come out to drink and eat. When it comes to tipping, do whatever. We give most people a chance to work, but this also means we get many bad apples.[/quote]

I’m still tipping 20%, but if you’re in a location where wait staff get minimum wage, I don’t think 20% makes sense anymore.

I love the restaurants that just include everything in the price. Don’t make me figure it out. [/quote]
