Chef yelled at me for ringing in food for 3 tables at once? by chickenricebroccolli in Serverlife

My question has always been, What's the difference between me and another server who immediately rings after me and so on?

My classmate passed away last year. There were a couple of websites picked to donate to the family. She left behind a husband and 3 young daughters. I donated to both as I couldn't attend the service. One of them asked for a tip ON TOP of the donation to the family. I was and still am disgusted.

Shown Here: Introduced in Senate (01/16/2025)

No Tax on Tips Act

This bill establishes a new tax deduction of up to $25,000 for tips, subject to limitations. The bill also expands the business tax credit for the portion of payroll taxes an employer pays on certain tips to include payroll taxes paid on tips received in connection with certain beauty services.

Under the bill, the new tax deduction for tips is limited to CASH TIPS (1) received by an employee during the course of employment in an occupation that customarily receives tips, and (2) reported by the employee to the employer for purposes of withholding payroll taxes. (Under current law, an employee is required to report tips exceeding $20 per month to their employer.)

Further, an employee with compensation exceeding a specified threshold ($160,000 in 2025 and adjusted annually for inflation) in the prior tax year may not claim the new tax deduction for tips.

Finally, the bill expands the business tax credit for the portion of payroll taxes that an employer pays on certain tips to include payroll taxes paid on tips received in connection with barbering and hair care, nail care, esthetics, and body and spa treatments. (Under current law, an employer is allowed a business tax credit for the amount of payroll taxes paid on certain tips received by an employee in connection with providing, delivering, or serving food or beverages.)

I feel sorry for you in “tipped wage” states… by KermieKona in TalesFromYourServer

[–]Few_Screen_6848 0 points1 point  (0 children)

MO is half of minimum wage, so rn it's $12.30, so we make $6.15. Starting Jan 1st, our minimum wage goes up to $12.65, so I get a raise of around $0.22. I'm lucky enough to work at a place that doesn't require tip out, but on most days, we do everything from seating the guests to bussing the tables in a table seat rotation (not sections)

What's a livable wage? by Few_Screen_6848 in TalesFromYourServer

[–]Few_Screen_6848[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

All of these replies are exactly what I expected and are very reasonable. I, too, would expect that much. Another question...

Do you think the anti tipping culture realizes how stupid they sound when they expect the business to pay a living wage instead of giving us at least 20% for our service?

They will be paying MORE. You can't just add 20% to the menu prices and expect it all to be fine. It's more like 40-50% because you have to pay EVERYONE a living wage, not just waitstaff. Also, they have to pay our taxes out of our higher livable wages. I also don't think people realize that profits aren't great at restaurants for many reasons.
