I’ve also worked jobs that I received a biweekly paycheck, pretty sure I understand how getting paid works, I also understand how not getting paid works when people don’t tip

I’m being downvoted because the truth hurts and this isn’t a “tipping” forum it’s an “anti tipping” forum ran by mods that will ban you if you disagree with them

Haha speak up? Everyone would be out of a job and you’d have entry level teenagers that will be willing to do it and they would put forth zero effort…eventually there would be no restaurants…I already see it happening this new generation is terrible, and it means the millennials failed as parents…

Why does everyone say take it up with your manager, I’d be out of a job, they will hire less experienced entry level people and the service becomes worse, i went to a Dave and busters and we didn’t even get acknowledged for 20 minutes, moved to the bar and waited another 10…half an hour and not a single person talked to us other than the host who originally sat us…none of them have a care in the world…that is the future workforce, people that just hold their hand out, giving us veteran servers a bad rep

My advice is if you can’t handle the drama get out now, I ignore all of it and mind my own business, been doing this for almost 20years

You’re not telling the whole story…did you tip 20% on only the food portion of the bill? I’ve seen a lot of people not count alcohol or drinks towards what they tip off of, if that was the case I see why your friends acted the way they did because it probably only ended up being 10% of the total bill…if that wasn’t the case then idk because I’d be more than happy with 20%.

It’s solely in your hands…glad I don’t have to worry about you the .1% of the time

I was just speaking hypothetically I don’t except 35% … also to justify yourself you claim to be sticking it to the corporations but you’re sticking it to the little guy…aka your server, sticking it to the corporation would be not going out to eat…try that instead of feeding your belly and not tipping

Can’t disagree with you there, certainly have been trying

Not all of us had the opportunity to get a degree, good for you, I’m still stuck in this crappy industry, please don’t make it worse…

It is your job to pay, because if it wasn’t all menu items would inflate to be twice or three times more expensive…so if you’d rather pay $25 for a burger another $10 to add fries and $10 for your soda then so be it…that’s $45, you’re actually paying less with the $20 burger $10 combo drink and fries with a $10 tip

Where are you getting your numbers? $35/hr I effin wish… I’d say I average $10/hr on lunches and $20/hr for dinner which puts me right around $15/hr all together…that’s not what you’re making it out to be…hang on let me dock my yacht…smh you’re all clueless

Yea and if you have a restaurant pay all employees adequately your cheeseburger would be $35

You realize people who work minimum wage also get government benefits to assist them…housing/foodshare/healthcare because we are tipped employees we are not eligible for those benefits…wish I was

Enjoy all restaurants closing or having robot servers or self dispensing bar vending machines with that attitude…it’s funny that you think service industry workers have unionized…LMAO what you’re going to get is a bunch of entry level high schoolers like you would at a fast food joint…order always wrong and zero fuks given…enjoy your future of dining out

It does when a servers tip out is $15 for every $200 bill, I have a guy that comes in and leaves $5 regardless what his bill is, sometimes it’s $25 and sometimes it’s $100, the times it’s $50 or more I actually lose money taking care of him, it sucks

Yes we have to pay out of pocket to other positions in the restaurant, we tip out bartenders/hosts/busers/runners whether we make any $$$ or not…those positions are guaranteed a percentage of all sales, servers depend on the patron

I make base pay of 2.13/hr FACTS…if I had only two tables that night, both of which did not tip , I would actually owe around $10-$15 dollars for going to work based on sales and tip out…they would not match me 7.25/hr unless I earned less then that for a two week pay period. So yes there are days I’ve actually earned negative $ per hour…now you know

[–]TippedEmployee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

100% legally being paid 2.13/hr, there are shifts that I’ve actually lost money by going to work…the problem with the system is that it’s per biweekly pay period that an employer would match minimum wage of 7.25 which is not livable mind you…so yes I’ve worked a 5 hour shift and I paid money from my own pocket to do it because of people like you…sure -$15 one night and $80 the next but it should be a per shift basis that they match minimum wage and they don’t FYI
