[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You don't think someone going to pick up your food and bring it to your house requires a tip?[/quote]

No I don’t. I live in California so we pay $9-11 in fees on a $20 order, because we also pay for the drivers to have benefits. I’m not tipping you when I’m helping pay your health insurance. I don’t even get health insurance through work! [/quote]

My job, which requires a graduate degree, pays $50/hour. I don't get paid for any time that I don't work, and that includes bathroom breaks. No job security, no vacation, no benefits. But for some reason, I have to tip everyone else, and the people receiving these tips think the minimum wage should be as high as 25/hour.

I do support a much higher minimum wage. But tipping needs to go. And also, if minimum wage is even 15/hour, then entry level jobs requiring a BA need to pay more since they barely pay more than the equivalent of 15/hour now. And then if those jobs are paying the equivalent of 25-30/hour, then mine should be paying at least 70. I don't think minimum wage workers understand that a lot of people are making 35K per year with a college degree and aren't getting any tips. [/quote]

You know by now that income does not correlate with education.

My dd is in NYC, early 20s, among the thousands trying make it in the arts.  She works part time at night in a private dinner club as a host.  Her base salary is $45 per hour. Tips more than double her salary.   Before that she worked in a high end restaurant as a hostess. $15 per hour plus tips.  People would hand her $100 for seating them.  Some of the regular Wall Street guys would give all the front house staff a $50 bill when they walked in.

The 1% are not cheap.   It’s the middle income that’s cheap.  The working class guys will tip their last dollar because they understand.

That's great for your daughter, but I hope she's saving her money because she's getting paid for her looks. The point of getting an education is that when she's not early 20s anymore and men aren't handing her hundred dollar bills for nothing, she'll still be able to make money. 
Income absolutely correlates with education outside of things like modelling, acting and hostessing. [/quote]

I know that.  She’s an apprentice dancer during the day.  We spent money for full time classical training that equals most college tuitions.   She lived in a dorm and then expensive apartments like most city college students do.  A few of the girls in the job move on to event planning, management or marketing for the company.

The odds of her making it in dance full time is very small even though she was accepted to the top schools and has been training full time for years.   She knows that odds are low.

She wasn’t going to go to a traditional college because she is weak academically and hated it.  We pay her rent and she has back up money.  But yeah, she knows this is not a forever job. [/quote]
