You're approaching it as if it is an obligation however. If it's not an obligation then you can't get that upset when they don't do it. You have to understand that it's optional.Hmmm... That has never really occurred to me before. And a part of me, I believe, always knew that tipping was optional, but that was way way in the back of my head. But I just always go into a restaurant with the notion that I am going to tip the server. Yeah, and it sucks when you think, "Crap, I only made $2 (or whatever) this hour because these people didn't tip. I can't survive on $2 per hour." But the problem there is the restaurateurs. They're being cheap bastards while trying to entice customers. The customer isn't obligated to make up the difference in your salary, but the restaurant owner sure as hell isn't going to pay it, either. It becomes the wait staff's burden to make a gamble that people will be nice enough to voluntarily pay you a living wage that the cheap-ass resturant owner won't pay you. We could avoid all of that if the restaurant owners would simply pay a decent wage. |
