[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I feel like posts on tipping have gotten out of control on DCUM. Every week there’s a new one, half the people complain about tip screens, the other half call them cheap.

Restaurants don’t put much effort into training people because 1. The turnover rate is so high, it doesn’t make sense to put that much time and effort into someone who will leave in a couple months and 2. The managers were all servers who couldn’t get out of the industry, so obviously not the most motivated bunch. Managers are also all old and tired and hate their life because they’re 50 and managing immature 22 year olds at 10pm on a Saturday night when they’d rather be in bed.

I don’t tip except at restaurants, and if they say anything or give me a dirty look, I ask why their boss refuses to pay them a decent wage. [/quote]

Op here. My manager made over $100K per year in a small town in the 90s by working his way up from waiter. That seems pretty motivated to me. Turnover was very low too. Teenagers were fine with working behind the counter or refilling buffet for minimum wage. Those jobs were easy. Wait staff made the most money and they were either adults or teenagers who had moved up and earned it. The highest wage earners were cooks and they were adults with actual cooking skills. [/quote]
