  1. Tipping results in much higher wages for the servers than if paid minimum wage, PLUS you actually get some service in the US.

  2.  @Reno_Slim  cooks and dishwashers shouldn’t be given part of tips!

  3. No one will miss you or your incompetence.

  4. People need to report this kind of abuse to the Department of Labor.
    2
  5.  @jimmyzhao2673  tips are based on service, not quality of the food.
    2
  6. Which employee? Why?
    2
  7. And that is tax fraud.
    2
  8. You “seen” it?
    2
  9. Unless this was a gift.
    2
  10. Also if it was truly a tip, it would be considered income whereas a gift is not considered income.
    2
  11.  @jeffbrownstain  there are other jobs.
    2
  12. Tipping is for SERVICE, not quality of the food!

  16. Only we prefer to have good service and for the servers to be amply rewarded for their hard work.
    1
  17.  @billhall1555  have you been to the DMV???
    1
  18. Wrong.
    1
  19. It’s the other way around. They get paid so little BECAUSE they get much more due to tips.
    1
  20. What? What do you think Arkansas is?
    1
  21. Why? Tipping works much better for all.
    1
  22. Go away foreign troll.
    1
  23. We prefer to have proper service and to have servers earn more THROUGH TIPPING!
    1
  24.  @michaelslee4336  because tipping results in better service and it is at the discretion of the patron. AND the good servers earn more and the bad servers quit.
    1
  25. Wrong
    1
  26. If the restaurant’s tipping policy was to share the tips, then the patrons would have gone elsewhere. That’s why they called the restaurant and asked!
    1
  27. Tipping works very well thank you.
    1
  28. Not in Arkansas.
    1
  29. Then you are very ignorant.
    1
  30. Then maybe you should have become a server, simple solution.
    1
  31. Because we prefer good service, unlike what is in Europe.
    1
  32. Tips MUST make up for that or the business must make up the difference!
    1
  33. Because we actually want good service and servers get paid much more because of tips.
    1
  34. Wrong
    1
  35. Wrong
    1
  36. Tipping works well.
    1
  37. $4,400
    1
  38. Tipping works
    1
  39. WHAT?!?
    1
  40. Only we want service and the ability to reward those who provide good service.
    1
  41. It works very well
    1
  42. Kitchen staff earns at least minimum wage and tipping is based on service, not quality of the food.
    1
  43. They aren’t interacting with the customers.
    1
  44. It WAS a gift since it was determined BEFORE the service was rendered.
    1
  45. They are earning living wages BECAUSE OF TIPS!!!!
    1
  46. It actually works very well. If you don’t like it then stay away from places that use it.
    1
  47. Tips are considered income according to US law.
    1
  48. Wrong, it works very well.
    1
  49. It works really well.
    1
  50.  @thomas735  the customer decides how much to reward the servers, the servers earn much more than minimum wage, and the owners don’t have to police the servers because if they suck, they get low tips and quit. It’s a win-win-win situation. And “inequality”?!? Not everyone IS EQUAL, and we don’t live in a communist economy. The very fact that it is UNEQUAL is exactly where the value comes from. Those that perform less EARN LESS than those that perform BETTER, AS IT SHOULD BE!!!
    1
  51. Then service would suck and servers would earn less. Good solution, NOT!!!
    1
  52. It was a gift
    1
  53. Wrong
    1
  54. The businesses are required by law to ensure that each server earns at least minimum wage for the shift.
    1
  55. No theory, if they do NOT earn minimum wage with tips, then the business is REQUIRED BY LAW to make up any difference.
    1
  56.  @ab935  “waitmares”? Seriously? You obviously wouldn’t be able to handle a real job where your decisions actually have an impact on people’s lives and deaths!
    1
  57. It was a gift, not a tip.
    1
  58. How would you know? Did you even graduate from High School? Doesn’t look like it based on your writing.
    1
  59. What’s your point? The tip is for the SERVICE, not the quality or taste of the food!
    1
  60. You lie. Show me the tax law that states that.
    1
  61. No
    1
  62. Why would you give a gift proportionate to the bill to someone that you didn’t know? It doesn’t work that way.
    1
  63. Everyone is responsible for accuracy reporting THEIR INCOME to the IRS.
    1
  64. Because tipping works well. You can just avoid going to restaurants where tipping is the norm.
    1
  65. Because we like good service and the CHOICE of how much to reward good service.
    1
  66. What sharing of tips do you think was “as usual”?
    1
  67. They get paid much more
    1
  68. Report this to the Department of Labor.
    1
  69. Wrong, they get crap wages BECAUSE they get tipped.
    1
  70. It’s not HOPE, it’s the law.
    1
  71. Wrong
    1
  72. Wrong! It actually works quite well for ALL.
    1
  73. All restaurants DO abide by minimum wage laws, and servers earn much more money because of tips.
    1
  74. And service sucks there. No thanks.
    1
  75. Why? The students KNOWINGLY agreed to the terms of the loans?!?
    1
  76. OBVIOUSLY because they “changed” the policy.
    1
  77. The quality of the food is based on the specific RESTAURANT, and cost. That is totally separate from the quality of SERVICE provided.
    1
  78. It works in the US.
    1
  79.  @jessejamesmanfred6319  keep your communist ideologies away from the US. Here we believe in paying MORE for better service, not giving the same to everyone which results in NO service, as can be seen in Europe.
    1
  80. How about not since servers earn MUCH MORE because of tips!
    1
  81. Not in Arkansas.
    1
  82. Kitchen staff get paid at least minimum wage, and you tip on SERVICE, NOT quality of the food!
    1
  83. You are very ignorant
    1
  84. Then that was illegal.
    1
  85. Then don’t go to sit down restaurants. You’re not in F-ing China!!!
    1
  86. Your money, feel free to throw it away.
    1
  87. Depends if it is a gift or tip.
    1
  88. Please state which laws that you are referring to.
    1
  89. The same way as when you pay someone to mow your lawn. That is not your concern.
    1
  90.  @spicemasterii6775  then they are committing a federal crime and can be prosecuted for it.
    1
  91. Then what is the purpose of tips? Socialist
    1
  92. Tipping is WHY they get $2.10 an hour!!!
    1
  93. The dishwasher is irrelevant.
    1
  94. I don’t think that the waitress cares.
    1
  95. In the US tips are considered part of the earners income.
    1
  96. It actually works really well.
    1
  97.  @PrairieWindSun  yes, for customers, servers and owners. If you think that it is FORCED, then don’t eat at sit down restaurants.
    1
  98.  @freethebirds3578  in MOST restaurants.
    1
  99. Why? It works well.
    1
  100. Because tipping works. How about you never go to a place where tips are expected?
    1
  101. A server, not ALL SERVERS!
    1
  102. So you were getting paid minimum wage?
    1
  103. Only tipping works really well when done properly. Perhaps you shouldn’t go to places where tipping is the norm.
    1
  104. You are ignorant
    1
  105. The assumption is that the owner “changed” the policy.
    1
  106. Probably theater
    1
  107. It was a gift, not a tip.
    1
  108. They can become waiters.
    1
  109. If you are at a sit down restaurant where you are waited on, you assume that the tip is NOT included. However you should Google the local server wage laws to ensure that you aren’t over tipping in places like Seattle where servers earn a regular $15 minimum wage.
    1
  110. Wrong, it benefits all parties.
    1
  111. Stay home
    1
  112. Then we would have shitty service like Europe and the servers would earn much less.
    1
  113. They are required to at least earn minimum wage. Try using Google.
    1
  114. Her work was irrelevant since the gift was determined BEFORE service was rendered.
    1
  115. No one is being forced to work there.
    1
  116.  @chemicallust77  the point is that there are MANY OTHER PLACES that people can CHOOSE to work if they don’t like working at a restaurant. Even better, they can GET AN EDUCATION so that they DON’T HAVE to work minimum wage jobs!!!!
    1
  117. That’s because tipped employees earn MUCH MORE THAN MINIMUM WAGE!
    1
  118.  @danielh3779  irrelevant. Employees here a guaranteed by law to at least earn minimum wage. And service there SUCKS!
    1
  119. Originally a tip but then became a gift.
    1
  120. Why? What did they do? That wasn’t the intent of the patrons.
    1
  121. Because the servers earn MUCH MORE BECAUSE OF TIPS!!!!
    1
  122. They are.
    1
  123. Punctuation is your friend. You were probably as bad of a server as you are a writer. Get an education.
    1
  124. Why? It was a gift, not a tip.
