I’m really upset by the number of people who don’t tip with the mantra “don’t like it? get another job!”

Many of us are single moms, or students, or working our first job, are juggling multiple jobs, caring for sick family members during the day or laid off because of the economy. It’s so easy for you to just tell us to find another job. GET A CLUE! Many times, WE CAN’T! Life has pushed us into these circumstances through no desire of our own. Your disdain for the good service we provide is a slap in the face on top of the already difficult existence we are leading.

If the service sucks? Great! Don’t leave a tip! I totally get it. But don’t expect us to unionize and change over 150 years of American culture when we’ve already go so much on our plate. The service industry is on the bottom of the food chain in this economy, and we possess neither the skill set, the time nor the resources to make the changes you suggest-AND NOT TIPPING US IS NOT BRINGING US ANY CLOSER TO THE RESOURCES, LEISURE TIME OR EXPENSIVE EDUCATION WE WOULD REQUIRE TO MAKE THOSE CHANGES. I hope you can live with yourselves each morning, because you’re cold and heartless.

I’m nineteen. I’m a kid. I want to eat out at a restaurant I like because I like the food. I don’t have to tip you. I am a kid. I don’t have to tip you. I have a life, too, and I work for money, too, and I am paying bills and trying to get ahead, too. I’m not responsible for your bills. If the restaurant made it part of the meal or made me pay it at all, I’d pay it. But I’m not voluntarily giving you my money just so you can bitch that it wasn’t enough. You judged that I wasn’t going to tip anyway. Also, I would do everything for myself if I could. I’d get my own drink, etc. Just because I like the food at a restaurant doesn’t mean I owe you money.

As a stripper, you dance naked in front of a room full of people for two songs (approximately 8 minutes), and the “expected” tip is a dollar from whoever wants to give you one.

And you’re requiring a minimum of $5.00 for any ind of a meal service?

No.
