Dont try and tell me because something is busy, and your on your feet, its hard.

There is a difference between hard and dangerous.....

Theres a difference between hard and serving tables too.

Servers seem to think they are special, and they deserve some kind of respect. They are no different than the guy who pumps my gas. And he doesnt get a tip, ever.

Again, have you ever done it? At a real place, not TGI Friday's? In the middle of tourist season?

And I said ONE of the hardest jobs, not THE hardest.

Dunno why we're even arguing. Nobody here is trying to say that tips are mandatory.

Welcome to TWFix.

That was the whole point of this thread but unfortunately it was forgotten long ago.

The restaurant in the original post did just that. By agreeing with their decision you agree with a mandatory tipping policy.

Did you really think I come here to agree with people?

I'm in Japan right now...no tipping. It's great as with the 2 pieces of sushi for 150 Yen.

Holy double post batman... I think we're on the same page.

OTB, we've already had this debate, Tmall is absolutely not going to agree with you.

Maybe restaurants should have an option when you walk in the door.

"Do you want the menu priced for tippers or non-tippers?"

"I dunno, what's the difference?"

"Oh, about 50%"

Or maybe, just maybe, we should get back to a situation in which we actually have professional servers, who earn that "gratuity"?

I don't know where you eat, but I get stellar service 90% of the time...and we eat out quite a bit. Stay away from chain restaurants run by a corporate entity that really treat their people like shit and you'll get better service....and usually better food.

TGIFridays? Really? People still eat that shit? Jesus.
