Tipping At A Restaurant

[Duwop]

Using your logic,

You just started a new job as you stated a few days ago, Congrats big dawg, but should those people pay yo ass less of a salary since they are already up and running?

Using your own logic to fit your real life

They are paying me more because they need someone quickly. The dude spot I'm taking had a brain aneurysm, and they needed to fill his spot. Folks that worked with me before know for a fact I could handle the position so they paid me way more than my previous job.

But if I had applied before big homie died, and they didn't have an urgent need to fill that spot with an experienced person.... I'm very sure I wouldn't be looking at the money they offered me.

 

[Duwop]

And trust me. The restaurants that are super busy and have booked tables around the clock pay their employees way more because they need to stay fully staffed, so there's way more incentive to pay them more.

But if they barely get a table a night, and the bar is always empty... You can count on the folks there not being paid as much.

No one person makes that determination. You do your research. You can't..... Well you shouldn't open a business without doing your research first. You have to go around and find out what people are making. You have to find out what people are being tipped on average in that area. People may be willing to work for $2 an hour because they're from that actual community have tons of regulars who are very tip heavy....

You could offer them $10 an hour, but it's way outta their community, there's no established following, and the people there are tight because they aren't even used to the place.

People don't realize opening a new restaurant is one of the worst possible investments of all time

Name is everything in a restaurant... If you don't have a recognizable name, the clock is running to how long that establishment stays open. That's why you see so many restaurants come and go, it's not an easy thing to figure out.

I've seen places open that service industry folks bragged about having good wages only for the place to fizzle out in less than a year because the amount of customers was not making up whatever they were paying their employees....

If your restaurant is slow.... You gonna have to let people go honestly..

That's how I lost my job, we got sloe
. The owner wemt thru a divorce and sent his youngest to college. He sold his house, moved into a apartment, and had enough free time in his hands to run the place himself instead of paying me. And considering he's the owner he doesn't have to pay himself... He just runs it... He was saving tons of money by letting me go

Would you answer me this question: I recall you saying you did your thing in the bar, no knock at all, just trying to understand the POV

If a bar owner or restaurant paid their waiters minimum wage or 10 dollars a hour, would tipping be a thing to do?

 

[Duwop]

Also chains get paid way more because there's more funding.. But they often pool tips, so you're not going to see too many really skilled and experienced servers .

No one wants to share tips with a server that has horrible customer service, barely gets a top, if you are really good and most tables tip you 25% or better.... But that's how a lotta chains and even some private places do it

That nigga du refuse to be defeated lol. Man aint nobody moving to a new job, that's paying them less money in most cases

Most jobs pay new hires more money or match what they've made from their previous employer in most cases

That nigga Du man lol.

You tip based on your service, not how much they make.

It's not the customers place to ask them how much they make before tipping. That's crazy work.

It wouldn't matter to me if they were making 2 or 12, I tip based on my service.

At my last restaurant, the food runners and servers made 12.50 an hour, the bartenders 15

And they were all tipped well. But when things slowed down, there were always cuts.

Either people or the hourly wage as a whole

 

[SneakDZA]

It's almost like some of you guys can't grasp the concept that if tipping was eliminated it would just be included in your bill anyway. Is it that you just find doing the math yourself difficult?

The only reason the job came up is bcuz the dude died.

This company wasn't offering a job at that kinda money before he died, so there was no reason or even job to apply for
So I don't even understand how this is a thing.

I'm leaving because a job opened up at more money than I make.

That's life, if anyone is offered a job for significantly more than they're making, they will likely take that position.

It's the same thing for a server. We've had plenty of people come to our restaurant because the wage was higher. But lots of times last one in is the first one out when we hit a slow season.

The service industry is known for having revolving doors.... Those folks will often switch up based on where the money at.

As a waiter, knowing that you making 1 dollar an hour, you don't, not you but a person that's a waiter don't feel bad about being paid 1 dollar a hour while the owner hogs and grabs all the profits?

They've worked 8 hours maybe 10 and made only 8 dollars for the day, 10 if 10 hours worked (if people decide not to tip)

How does one get up the next day and do it all over again?

Basically. And the places were the tip is included typically have crap service cuz they already know they not going to see no extra money on the table when they come to buss it down.. But those places typically pay more an hour

 

[konceptjones]

Greed.

But the mindfuck or question that I would like to ask you, would you work somewhere for $2.00 an hour?

Not knocking anybody who do it, please do it, so you won't be out here trying to rob my ass for coins, get yo coins, but I want to understand the POV of a person over 30 that chooses to do this and still (like in the video) complain to folks in the US about tipping.

Fuck no.

Full stop.

What happens if you get more folks like me who think the owner(s) should pay their waiters a fair wage? And stop tipping?

What happens to this industry?

Bruh, if someone is working for $1 an hour... And no tips

Trust me, the owner is not taking in much money at all. That place is about to close. Because they are clearly getting no business.

In fact there is probably no server.

The owner is prolly serving the tables himself, if that's all they can pay.

 

[Duwop]

The bottom line is this.....

Restaurants do not profit as much as y'all think.

I find supplementing the servers income instead of them being paid fair wages difficult I still do it when I step out either way. I'd prefer if they were getting fair wages and I was tipping purely for service.

Right now in North America it's an unfair and sometimes uncomfortable exchange on both sides.

What happens when folks find out that their burger was 5 dollars, fries were 3 dollars, tax everything should equal to 10 dollars but they have a tab for 13 dollars?

What happens to that restaurant that's including a so call extra cost?

I've seen folks say, take that off my bill or I'm not paying that and walk out or write a bad review on the place

What makes you say that the owner is not making any money? Folks just not tipping or maybe not tipping that person

Because as I've said earlier, restaurants are horrible investments and often shut down because they do not make the profits you think they do.
