[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.

[b]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.   [/b]

Anyone who has ever worked in the food service industry knows this to be 100% correct with one addition: rich people are also cheap.

The wealthy & 1% are not cheap and never ask prices or look at them. When I worked at a high-end restaurant frequented by the ultra wealthy, most never looked at the bill when it arrived. They simply handed over their payment method and carried on with their conversation. Those that did look only did so to fish out the correct cash tip to hand me when also handing over their card.

The working class people who had saved for months to be able to eat there to celebrate an anniversary or birthday were also great tippers. They had studied the menus beforehand to get an idea of the price range and knew how much extra they needed for a tip. Most never tipped less than 20% and usually tipped 25-30%.

The terrible tippers and cheap ones were the middle class and "rich" people. They ran you ragged with stupid little requests to feel more important. They scrutinized the bill once it came. And they were always the ones arguing if I told them that making a substitution would cost more. Whenever a manager request came, it was always for a middle class or rich table. The worst of all was the after church crowd on Sundays.   [/quote]
