Re: Dumb Waiter
If I go into a restaurant I will only leave a tip if the service I have received is very good.....and only I can judge that!
The waiter/waitress is paid to do their job, so unless I receive very good service I see no reason to reward them.
If the restaurant don't pay good wages they should put up the price of the food they sell, then use the profit to pay all staff more.... but they wont do that because they are afraid that less people will come through the door. If they serve good food, at a fair price, they can pay a reasonable wage to staff...and the ones who give their customers a reason to come back can be rewarded by their tip!
Tips should never be part of their wage, they should be a reward for the additional good service you have given!
The man in this thread didn't deserve to even have a job if that is how he treats customers!
