Thank you! I am just one server do not punish me because you hate the tipping culture of America! Don’t like it, like you said, don’t go to a damn restaurant then! Easy peasy!
Don’t punish another person for your thoughts, feelings, etc about the situation of tipping, it’s not their fault, it’s yours for not tipping them because “you don’t agree” then go to damn McDonald’s!
I've never worked as a server but I did date one long ago who said something to the effect, "that $5 means more to her than you" and while I was not nearly as financially stable back then, that idea has stuck with me.
An extra isn't going to make or break my day but it could make someone else's day.
Another way I've been thinking about this is how for a brief moment you someone's "boss." If you've ever complained about unfair compensation what does it say about you that you're using than brief moment of power to be what you hate.
I agree! $5 to you might not mean much but to a server it would mean everything. It makes up for bad tippers or worse the no tippers at all. The little things makes servers day honestly!
And yeah, but I am not truly “their boss” it’s more that I have to deal with unsatisfying customers, intake orders of food and beverage vendors, and ensuring all customers are satisfied plus doing my server role… so honestly, it’s me dealing with all the issues but still having tables. I love my place of work and will never leave since I make like $3-4k a month as a server and that’s like 1/2 of what I was making as a teacher full time but some customers are the worst and would rather get paid less than dealing with them honestly…
