Today is Wednesday, and of course I have to work as usual...money doesn't grow off trees you know, and if you do see it happen bring me some cash....This is why I thought about horrible tippers.
Please explain to me how you go out to eat dinner and then you leave a bad tip. Did you know that a server makes horrible minimum wage? In NYC a server's minimum wage is $4.65 per hour plus their tips which they are then taxed on. In NJ it is $2.13 an hour plus their tips get taxed as well. Therefore, a server makes anywhere from $0 to around $25,000 a year in steady restaurant. Yes, they can earn a lot more in other places, but this is the typical amount to my knowledge.
So I cannot seem to fathom that you leave such crappy money for a server? One time I had a guy leave me $1 on a $100 bill another time a friend got $40 on a $500 bill. Now these tips go fast because you have to give the bus boy money and the bartender money based upon how much work they did and how much sales you rang up. So the $40 dwindled down to probably about $10 if not less.
When I got left the dollar I thought about the movie "Waiting". If you have not seen it you should and people who leave shitty tips should see what could happen to their food for being assholes. The movie explains what servers do (not all just some) and what it is really like to work in a restaurant. Also at one point a server gets a $1 tip and gives it back to the man saying he needs it more. This is completely true and you should learn to tip better!
What do you think about horrible tippers?
