[quote=Anonymous]People are just cheapskates now.

In college a couple of “girls” yes we called 18-20 year old women girls worked at a nice restaurant near college and earned enough to pay for college and buy cars.

Tips were all cash back then.

Today a $100 bill your $20 dollar tip on Amex by the time you remove all the credit car fees, payroll taxes, some place they give a cut to bus boys and hostess your 20 percent tip is 10-12 percent.

Also in College way less casual dining places like Applebees. Sit down restaurants were for birthdays, anniversaries, communions, engagement parties or business men on expense accounts.

And in regards to tipping my father worked in a tips placed business from 1955 to 1977. 20 percent was standard tip payable on credit card or corporate account. Was automatically charged. Good customers tipped cash on top. They also bought food, gave tickets to events.

My father had a limo business. I recall in a blizzard at two am he got a call on house phone at two an and rescued a stranded customer. Drove a customer 18 hours one in an emergency. Last minute trips etc.

And my dad also has to tip. Do you think he got reservations to sold out restaurant or hotel or best seats at play for customers without tipping. Do you think I he sat in front of theater or club without buying cops some coffee or tipping bouncer to watch out.

My mom was a waitress too 15 years. She lived in Manhattan and people tipped much better.

Today people are being shamed to tip because they are cheating staff who work there
