The tipped minimum wage was set to $2.13 federally almost thirty years ago, and is still $2.13 in ten or twelve states. They are mostly chud states, of course. There used to be several states with $10 and $12 minimum wages for tipped employees, but obviously all of the restaurants and bars in those states went immediately out of business, destroying wealth and cratering their economies.

The worst part of when I lived in California for a decade was the fact that there were zero restaurants, they just didn't exist. It was really tough since I spent most of that time working as a waiter.

Considering Beef O' Brady's is Louisville's premier boomer restaurant, I'm surprised the management even tried to remind diners to tip employees.

The right thing to do is to stop tipping en mass and force the owners to actually pay wages, but if we had that amount of organization we'd just do communism and remove the problem all together.

Wage theft is one of those things where they absolutely come down hard. More importantly, Gordon Ramsey finds it disgusting! For real though, I've been comped a few meals, restaurants I worked to build, a couple small jobs we did work-trade for, wire something up and get your wage in free food, a couple people have bought me a meal because I'm eating lunch in uniform. I always leave a tip equal to my meal amount, I couldn't imagine my rage if I learned the owner tried to take a piece of that. European model of "pay your staff a living wage" and then maybe you throw a few pounds/euro/kroner as a thank you for exceptional service is an objectively superior model. E: I meant to make a joke post about this issue, gently caress.

Technically there's a tip credit system that can knock wages down to ~$9.35/hour if a given employee is making enough in tips, but that'sa bunch of extra math on a weird scale so most places I've seen just start you at $10.10. anyway hopefully you're just being sarcastic. (also lol good luck having a conversation about how much better tipped labor has it here than the $2.13/hour I was used to) FFT has a new favorite as of 08:11 on May 23, 2020 |

wizzardstaff posted:20% is just easier to tip. You move a decimal point to the left. You do it again. You smash those numbers together. You write it down. You put down the pen and hand over the receipt, sweaty and nervous, hoping you didn't take too long and that no one witnessed your public display of shameful mental math skills. Why don't you just not bother with the maths and overestimate? Like, back when cash was a thing, if I was out for a meal with a group of people and the total came out to $27.40 per person I'd just put down $30 and call it good. No, I don't want change, please do not give me coins under any circumstances. So if you're in a place where tips are a thing and you order a meal that costs, I dunno, $18.50, are you really going to sit there going "well 10% of that is $1.85, times two is $3.70, add that to the original price is $22.20" rather than just going "here's $25"? You're going to sit there and do maths for the sake of a couple of dollars?

Okay, I need to recommend that people click through on this one, because there's some gold below the fold here, and it isn't anything like what you expect. holy poo poo it's not giving them photography or catering services 'for exposure' or even giving them a venue for exposure. They want people to be armed guards for exposure.

No, I don't want change, please do not give me coins under any circumstances. your first example is not quite 11% for your second example you could go "twice 18.50 is 37 so i should tip in the region of $3.70" which is like one and a half math operations at best and since you've already explicitly brought up "back when cash was a thing" you just add ~$3.70 to the tip line of the credit receipt and you're done. hell, a lot of tip receipts even do the math for you! unless you're the kind of person that gets antsy about tipping on the taxed total as if your server doesn't have to pay sales tax. no one's going to complain if you give more but given your first example that's probably not how your rounding works out oh it's tiggum FFT has a new favorite as of 09:43 on May 23, 2020 |

FFT posted:your first example is not quite 11% My first example is from a country where we don't do tipping. My point was that it's the same kind of rounding up for the sake of not bothering to do maths. I'm comparing something from my life to a hypothetical situation in which I live in a place where tips are a thing.

And it's fun because you know it doesn't have a cost of someone having to put up with an abusive rear end in a top hat just to get paid for their work that day.
