[quote=Anonymous]To me it is ridiculous that any business or its staff member rely on tips. If that is the case, then staff need to ask/business pay a better wage. It used to be that tipping for for exemplary service that you felt was going above and beyond. Nowadays, it is looked at as a must for average service and higher tips for above average. It also used to be that cost for a service that would include a tip were priced lower, now business owners took advantage of tip expectations and slowly raised rates. How much do you think a good paying job gets, 100K? That's 50 an hour, no tips, tax income reported, working more than 40 a week, doing prep work outside of business hours, etc. Just because either greedy business owners want to line their pockets more, or got themselves into so much debt that they run up cost yet don't pass it on to staff, is out of control. A customer should not be expected to pay someone 15-20/hr extra in a tip because the business or its industry is a succubus, and having its clients feeling guilty that they underpay staff. It's wrong and this comes from a person that usually just does a 20% tip across the board, but last couple years almost all services are below par and am rethinking how I tip. No one gives me extra if I do an average job, let alone go above an beyond.[/quote]
