Where the Fack do YOU live?
Here in Kentucky, wait staff at Applebees (and every other tip credit establishment) make $2.13 Hr.
Their total receipts are added after each shift, 15% is added to that, whether customers tip or not.
Their W-2s are based on the ASSUMPTION that ALL customers tip 15%.
If, at the end of the week, the wait person has not accumulated total wages and (assumed) tips to total $7.15, the employer must make up the deficit to make it $7.25 Hr., Fed Min. wage.
I tip pretty much anyone whoo does an above average job, mechanics, movers, etc.
That goes double for Pizza Delivery drivers, they furnish their own cars, gas, insurance, maintenance, etc. just to keep my lazy ass from having to get out of the house!
I would never give a Pizza Driver less than $5.00!
