Do you tip your barber or do you tell him to go ask the barber shop owner for a raise?
Service industry was great to me. I was 19 years old making >$40K untaxed. Despite what you cheap ass dudes may tend to believe, there's not THAT many of you out there in terms of percentages. You stingy weirdos are in the minority. So servers still make solid money because most people are aware of what comes along with going out to eat. Do you though, just don't be shocked when you see a booger chillin in that iced tea the server just brought you.
You bi-polar crazies kill me. The whole premise of this thread is the service industry crying buckets because customers arent tipping high enough. Then when challenged, you guys revert to caking and eating mode, and start crowing over how well you were compensated as a waiter. LOL.
Cutting hair is actual skill and service. Taking a basic order and handing it to a cook, and filling my water glass isnt particularly skillful. Waiters are dime a dozen and disposable --- thats why its heavily populated with younger workers, and not particularly valued.
This whole argument of yours is race-oriented --- plain and simple. Owner sht on workers left and right, but your corporatized a$$ has been trained to never question them, and accept it. Customers, predominately black, dont tip as well as you demand, and you're quick to call them names and suggest nasty retribution like damaging the food they PAID for. In essence, you shy away from challenging those in power and pick on vulnerable targets. Thats the sign of a puzzy, and if ur puzzy a$$ is ever caught spitting in someone's food, not only are you breaking the law but you're liable to get your stupid a$$ kicked all over the linoleum floor in the restaurant.
