Sure it does, so maybe it's just a culture difference. With tips, good wait staff can earn pretty solid money considering. Bad wait staff presumably get less or no tips so they make barely minimum wage. So there's a pretty big reason to do your job well. If we changed to a zero tip type of pay structure I would expect to see a lot shittier service on average because it doesn't affect that person if they do well or not. It might be different if tipping was never part of this society, but since it already is I think taking it away would be a huge misstep.
not sure if serious...
the customer wrote the message on the tip line. that message at the bottom of the note was written by the waitress.
edit: i obviously didn't read the article first, but the way i understood it makes more sense to me. oh well.
Yea, and those people serving your food go "home" to lean-to's and eat rice.
"I wish everyone could work one week as a server and then try to tell me it's not hard. The better you are at it, the easier it becomes, but it can still be very tough. Mentally and physically exhausting. And the fact is, we make $2.13 an hour," explained PhoenixSongFawkes. "If restaurants ever did change to just minimum wage, good servers would be hard to find. Because no one would work like that and put up with that for minimum wage."

Also, many cheap ATOT'ers will cheer this
I want to point out that particular piece from the article.
So what this hypocrite is saying is that with tips, they make far more than minimum wage, which is $7.25/hr, possibly higher depending on state laws?
I guess I need to start tipping less from now on, since these people are obviously making too much given these are, by definition, minimum wage jobs.
Many ATOT'ers also do not hold single mothers in high regard so there is a bit of conflict.
omg single mother. then she's definiately...

If you deliberately waste 10 minutes to bring me water, you will not get a tip. Which is ironic given all the whining you do about not getting a tip. I can survive without that one glass, can you survive on half minimum wage?
What We Want You to Know
In many restaurants, the tips are pooled, so if you have a bad experience with the server, youre stiffing the bartender who made your drinks, the water boy who poured your water, sometimes the hostess, the food runners, and maybe the other waiters.
Well then, maybe you shouldn't disappoint all those other people you pool tips with by being lazy. Peer pressure's a bitch.
If true, and if I owned the restaurant, she'd have a lifetime ban. I have no use for people like that, or their money.
As usual I will swallow my outrage at a country where not tipping is considered some sort of moral crime and agree with everyone else.
Tsk tsk tsk.
And how exactly would you enforce that, genius
ID everyone who comes into the restaurant and cross reference your banned list?
i bet she's...

Her picture would be at the hostess station, and if she came in, and was recognized, she'd be escorted out. It isn't foolproof, but it's close enough. Genius...
I tip 10% at chinese restaurants and the severs seem happy.
white people restaurants expect 18% which is absurd

Especially after you have 100, 200, 300 pictures for them to look through having banned them all.
That will work well for you.
Oh wait, that wouldn't happen because any restaurant you start would fail before gaining that many patrons
