    A buddy of mine who used to work in the restaurant industry told me something I hadn’t considered regarding tipping.

    Restaurant servers make just over $2/hour as a wage - they depend on tips to get anything close to a decent wage. Fast food workers at Starbucks, Subway, Taco Bell, etc make around $15/hour, AND they don’t really SERVE you…. Food for thought.

    "Serving" and tipping deserves another thread, entirely. Throughout my life? I have worked both spectrum's.

    Today's culture is...."entitled". IMO

    Counter service pretty much never deserves a tip, unless it involves pouring/mixing alcohol.

    I've never given any thought on tipping bartenders verses tipping say the sandwich maker at a deli. However, now that the matter has been presented what makes them different?

    I had my vehicles detailed yesterday and left the workers a nice tip. Was I right or wrong?

    My line of reasoning was that someone did a personalized service for me and I should tip them if I'm pleased; which I was.

    I don't care for some of the restaurants I've been to the past few years or so, like at a large up-scale food court, sit down Mexican, Asian or Pizza where they will serve you at the table, but you pay at the counter when ordering before you get your meal. The C.C. pay screen they turn around to you sometimes lists four tip amounts, 15%, 20%, 25% and Other. I really don't like to pay their tip upfront. I guess if I do 15% I can leave more at the table. But it's hard to take any back. It's just the manner it's being done. Entitled culture, if you will. I could start with $1.00 in Other too.

    In all my years, I can count on maybe one hand the times when I was so thoroughly disgusted with both the meal AND the service that I refused to leave any tip. It's usually the service that is lacking more than the meal. Sometimes they reflect each other, bad food and bad service (think dive).
    Usually if it's a quality restaurant with a long tradition, both food and service will be good. There are exceptions. I was recently in a restaurant, not super busy, I sat at a table in plain view of the kitchen, and three waiters, after no one came to the table for ten minutes, I got up and walked out. At least acknowledge I'm there.

    Their base pay is the difference, same as wait staff/servers. Bartenders, and servers do not make a normal minimum hourly wage. A sandwich maker does.
    Federal min wage for tipped workers is only $2.13/hr vs $7.25 for non tipped workers.

    Lots of restaurants have servers tipping out the cooks, along with bartenders.

    That’s how it worked at our restaurant/bar, not a corporate establishment a mom & pop owned place.

    Prob using the extra woofer as a passive, leaving the port, too, so as not to take away from the original design too much. I can respect it - a purist.
