Tipping

[Mr Kobayashi]

I don’t know mate. I only fly over the place.

Good man. Any chance you would like to sit in the cockpit on your next flight?

Just as long as you drop a large package as you fly over...

Do any US states have a minimum wage ?
If raising the price of a meal ensures someone gets a decent wage but stops someone going out for one, tough. Pay staff what they deserve and tip for good, polite service.

That just encourages shitty wait staff, there needs to be hustle and efficiency or you get what you have in England

Got talking to a Hooters waitress whilst on a road trip, she told me the company policy on dress code was to wear 3 pairs of American tights.....

Never tipped. They can all get fucked.

I just gave you the tip, you seemed to like it

Just out of interest, how does it improve the efficiency of staff if they expect a decent tip regardless of the quality of service?

I’m not looking for sensible answers

In a bar it's usually a dollar per drink.
The meal is this 15 - 20% malarkey.
If you can pay the tip in cash that way the owner / manager can't rip the servers off.

I remember years ago going back to Jolly Old and having a few beers in my old local. I left Mike (landlord) a tip on the bar, he was not impressed

Many, many years ago I worked regularly in a local village pub, either behind the bar or at tables and occasionally would be offered a tip. I was embarrassed for it to be offered to be honest. I didn't like it either and if really pushed would take 20p.

I'm always courteous and polite to any staff, because that's the way I am, but I still don't agree with the 'compulsory' or 'expected' tipping system.

Not on this forum they dont

Careful.

I arrived early at the restaurant. The manager said do you mind waiting a bit?

I said no.

Good, he said. Take these drinks to table nine.
