So as not to “hijack” another thread… :roll:
Tipping well means you are paid too much?

Tipping in tipping situations is the right thing to do, and tipping well makes the tipper feel even better about the experience. I never verbally complain about poor service, but instead frequent those places much less. For good service I tip well, and for exemplary service, I tip even better, and make a point to speak to the manager on duty and praise the server and food and experience in detail. Negative reports can kill a good employee having a bad day. Positive reports have a cumulative effect and are much more effective in ensuring the experience desired by the customer.
I believe that tipping gives the customer greater control about the delivery service where employees are unsupervised for the majority of the time. Tipping allows the customer to reward servers for good service, and low tips punish poor service. It is an incentive for all parties to give and receive the best service possible. Without a tipping environment, what incentive do employees have to offer the best service? Delivery service might likely become as lethargic as trash pickup by city employees. IMHO. tip credit robs employees of this incentive.
Tipping is good in tipping situations. Tipping well makes both the tipper and the server feel good. Mocking good tipping practices is counter intuitive to anyone in the delivery or table service business in countries where tipping servers is customary.

I am retired from the Navy and receive a small but comfortable pension. My wife is employed full time as an assistant manager in retail. Since when does ones living circumstances or tipping habits factor into whether or not their pay is fair? Should I be paid less due to my other income? Should I tip more because of my retirement income? Can one also assume that if a pizza shop owner can afford luxurious vacations or that they drive expensive cars or live in luxury homes that they must be underpaying their employees?Good article Gregster, but man you maust be getting paid tooooooooooooo much if you can afford to tip $20.
So no more posts about drivers payYou just lost all credibility :lol:
