Cool so in the
Ah, the reason I'm asking is in England waiters get paid the same as anyone else on minimum wage but we have adopted the American tradition of tipping.
Would you still tip if you knew they where making minimum wage?
I would tip regardless of what they get paid. I’m going out to eat because I’m most likely tired and don’t want to cook, special occasion with the family (at least 5 people) or I’m on a date with my Woman. With that being said I can only imagine how tedious it is to make sure a table of 5 is happy, drinks continuously filled, remembering who had what drink etc.
Then on top of that I’m probably being a lazy ass and don’t want to cook and my woman doesn’t want to cook. This shyt ain’t fast food and I expect great service and we all know…you get what you pay for. Even with the worst service I still give a $5 tip because I don’t know what the fukk is going on, they may be short staffed, the cook might be on one so the food is coming out slow, the waiter or waitress may have had a stressful day after fukking with 2 groups of 10 back to back or even at the same time in their section or they might just be having a fukked up day

Who really knows. shyt I have even been known to ask for a change of whoever is serving me if I walk in and they seem to just have a fukked up attitude. shyt is simple to me, if someone is serving you, bringing you food and etc then why the fukk wouldn’t you tip them?
I’m out of town doing some stuff for work and I went into this spot to get some food, the young girl was running the register and when she kept asking questions to her inept coworkers she was getting little to no response so she said fukk it and went and did the shyt herself. Prepared my food, bagged it, handed it to me and when she asked another girl to help her the girl forgot something. I kindly called her over and told her that i was missing something, she grabbed it and apologized while the second girl ignored and walked away. At that point I told her she was working her ass off and handed her a $5 bill. Normally if I’m not sitting down then you don’t get a tip but she busted her ass to make sure I got my shyt in a timely manner
