The federal minimum wage is approximately double that amount. :argue:In America, which is what we are talking about in this thread. Waiters and waitresses make around 3 dollars an hour. Would you work for 3 pounds an hour? I think not, and the servers in this country don't either, they work for the tips, it's as simple as that.
As for stealing from the waitperson by not leaving at least a 10% tip... the IRS considers that as average and does NOT collect more when the tip is greater than 10%.
I'm apparently a tightwad cuz, on my limited Social Security Disability budget, I "make" a lot less than those poor overworked people. I would be much more agreeable if tips weren't based on the amount of the check. I have to look at the price column before I decide what I want to order, and I don't receive any better service if I order a new york steak rather than a hot dog.
And why do people only talk to the manager when they are dissatisfied? I like to compliment good service.:dunno:
