Just sayin'.

Yes, fairly vile and unfair. However, it is in place and I am at a loss as to how to change it. Mostly, I guess, just remember to tip well for good or great service. And tell all your countrymen about the custom. If you patronize union restaurants you still have to tip the same.... so boycotting MY restaurant to make a point about something doesn't really work.Ian said:Hi Tom,
Well all in all it sounds like a completely vile and immoral system. How do we as customers help to disestablish the system ? Only eat in Union restaurants that pay their staff a decent wage ? (how are these restaurants and estasblishments recognized ?).
Of course I'm thinking now of all my friends and rellies that have visited the states and told me how cheap it is to eat out there ( Well of course it is if you arent paying the staff any wages....)
Cheers, Ian

Yes, I spoke too soon with my earlier snarky comment about glueing fishing line to a nickel. I should have known better since I've had 3 friends including 2 girlfriends in the serving biz.davismanLV said:If you get bad service, less of course, and don't be afraid to tell the management about any issues. That's what they're there for.....
So cash isn't really king, unless you work for one of those restaurants that gjmalcyon mentioned that charge their servers to convert tips (which is a total scam). I have had people actually tell me since they're leaving cash, they can tip me less because it's "untraceable" or some such nonsense. :shock: Seriously?
I think cows everywhere would agree with you.davismanLV said:Another reason for eliminating tipping, I'd say.
