[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I get confused about base salaries. From working as a waitress, I remember how pathetic the base salary was.  If someone’s providing counter service (like PP’s bakery example), I don’t know if they’re paid minimum or a lower salary based on tipping expectations.  As a result, I usually add a tip, because I don’t want to stiff anyone relying on it.  I wish there was some clear indicator about the pay structure. [/quote]

As was expressed in multiple threads before, if the tips do not add up to make minimum wage, the owner is supposed to compensate the wait/counter staff. By tipping every tom, dick and harry you are allowing the owners to pay their staff less than minimum wage and get to keep more profits[/quote]

This. If there was a way to pin this post, we should. IF YOU DON'T TIP, THE OWNER HAS TO PAY THE WORKER AT LEAST MINIMUM WAGE.[/quote]

Most of the places asking for additional tips are already paying minimum wage.  Counter service is almost always minimum wage.  That's why it all feels unfair to me.  Why work at a table service restaurant and scramble on your feet when tips are most of your compensation when you can get a job at a fast casual counter service place and make way more money because customers are needlessly tipping?[/quote]
