[quote=Anonymous]All the MT comments seem to suggest the same thing. "They are not getting paid enough and hence need to rely on the tips". So, shouldn't the question be why they are not getting paid enough in the 1st place? You should never compare hard work in jobs. Everyone works hard for their money. I don't understand why getting tips should be made mandatory. I am not saying that you should not make more money but that you should get more money from the companies you are working for and not from the customers. The customers shouldn't be put in a delicate situation of whether to tip or not tip.

It should be a simple problem of supply/demand. If you charge more and people still come, that means you can earn more. If you need to reduce the money to get people to come, then you earn less. If what you earn doesn't accommodate your current lifestyle, then you need to do something to get paid more or change your lifestyle to fit your earnings. You can't be jealous of someone making more or feel pity for someone making less. It all depends on the choices you make and you live with the consequences. If you were sold lies, then you need to fight it and educate others.

If I eat out and if it normally costs me $20/person without tips, you can build the tips into it and make the charge $25. If I find it too high, I will stop eating less outside and will start cooking more at my house. If I can afford it and find that $25 is fine, then I will continue to eat outside.[/quote]
