The people of the world should choose to tip their waiters or waitress. If the people don't, then they won't have much money and then they can't really pay their bills or afford what they need like clothes, food, water. Even if you aren't going to a restaurant, if you have a babysitter, maid, cab drivers, etc., you still should pay them a tip. They help do things for you or cook things for you, and they don't spend that much effort doing a good job and not get a little extra money. Even if they aren't a good person or mess your order or anything up you should still pay them a little tip.
Why you should tip others? First of all, Waiters have never actually gotten 20% or 15%. In Dubai, you have to pay a 10 percent service charge to all bills in restaurants, etc. In Egypt and Jordan, you have to add a tip of 5-10 percent. There is one country that wants people to have an envelope that has something that is appreciating the service and food (Murphy 3). In Qatar, you have to leave a 15-20% (Murphy 4). In Saudi Arabia, is the same as Egypt and Jordan, but you have to take the uneaten food home by kitchen staff or given to the homeless (Murphy 5). In America you would have to leave 15 to 20% tip, but no one ever really does. So you should tip because it will help make up for the staff’s low pay (Margolis 2).

That is when people don’t go there as much, because of the prices and if the restaurant isn’t that good then they could be shut down. The thing is that if you pay waiters a lower hourly wage, then that could be bad for business, because then the workers don’t work as much and they might quit too. If you pay the workers higher hourly wage, the this means higher per capita restaurant sales. The good thing about is that the workers stay at their jobs, increase their productivity and spend more at
Also, servers themselves know that certain things affect tips that aren’t usually included in most research on tipping influences. For instance many servers believe that gas prices affect the amount they are tipped or how busy the restaurant is. The thought is that the higher the gas prices the smaller the tip and vise versa. All the theories similar to this are why many servers and others alike believe that tips are too inconsistent of a form of payment to be able to live of...
Clincher: As Robin Williams would say, have a good night and be sure to tip your waitresses.
All in all, beggars can’t be choosers. From the Percenters to the Whale Tippers, all tips are appreciated. Regardless of what category you fall in, every time you tip a server, you leave an impression. Everytime you dine out, you have a chance to change your category.
Although tips can often lead to servers making well over regular minimum wage per hour, overall, tips are very inconsistent and are completely dependent on restaurant customers. Not only does the customer decide how much to tip based on his/her enjoyment of the dining experience, but also servers need busy restaurants in order to make good money.
One of the primary reasons to abolish tipping is because tipping has weak correlation with the quality of service provided. According to Archibugi, “personal sympathy, charm, flirtation, and attitude” can play significant role in determining the amount of the tip disbursed (61). Recent research indicates that average tip of waitresses in their 30’s with “large breast, blond hair, and slender bodies” is higher compared to other waitresses who lack these traits (Lynn 743). Thus, this leads to fact that tipping can sometime be unjust. Attractive service provider may receive high tip compared to unattractive service provider even if the latter one had catered with better service quality.
The minimum tipped wage has been the same for years and non-tipped has almost doubled over the years to today. Also the cost of living has went up 75% over the years and the servers are struggling to make ends meet on such a weak salary. Tips are a major part of a servers income and still sometimes it is not enough.
The point has been made is that, when salary has going up and tipping is something that isn’t obligated, customers is the one who gonna get worse service, since the waiters not gonna try hard anymore to please customer for tipping money, therefore indirectly making the service quality going down. The customers, who should have felt good since they didn’t need to bother with “How should I tipped this right?” question, are now actually get a worse service because the waiters don’t even have a reason to care anymore. And it really raise a question: should we ban tipping practice or not? Even though Eater has made an extremely solid point that need to be considered, I still believed that the tipping system should be banned since it’s hurting the society on many other perspectives, and as the waiters now got what they think they’re deserved, they may actually perform a better job and provide better services. After all, you can’t give your 100% if you think you’re robbed by your employer, and we can only see how it gonna turns out if we beginning to treat the matter by applying solutions into real life instead of theorizing about
One of the most common reasons for tipping is out of guilt more than gratitude. According to tipping guidelines you should leave atleast 15 percent of the bill as a tip at a restaurant. However, many times people leave more than the acceptable minimum when they know that the servers use this money to make ends meet. Working all day at the office making very little money yourself will leave yo...
While many people face certain issues with campus dining, one of the few issues that really bother me is the dining hall hours. Ball State has the times listed on their website which most of the time they do not stay true to. Here I will list the times for you; breakfast is 6:45-10:29, lunch is 10:30-4:29, and dinner is 4:30-midnight. While I have gone in during those times to eat they dining halls are usually all packed up and starting to get ready for the next mealtime. I especially feel that they do not stay true to the dinnertime. All too often I will go into a dining hall around 8:30 and they main cuisines will already be packing up. This leaves people who are either working on homework or at work themselves hungry when they get the chance to finally eat. 82.35% of the people who took my survey said that they spent their time studying or working on homework. I asked if anyone has ever skipped dinner because they did not like the food options after everything has closed. 70.59% said yes to having skipped dinner. While this may be a problem I feel that one of three solutions could be the answer to fix it all. I believe that the dining hall could either leave one specific dining hall with all options open until twelve, have all of the dining halls open until twelve as said by Ball State, or better yet, change the dining times.

“Restaurants in the United States pay servers less than minimum wage, as low as two dollars and change per hour”(United States). For restaurant employees or any employee whose income is based on tips alone, living on a low salary and whatever tips they manage to earn a night creates an unstable income. That might be okay for a teenager trying to earn some extra cash during the summer, but what about single parents who have to afford day-care services and food on the table? In addition, in some restaurants, employers do not provide benefits such as health insurance. “In fact, servers are nearly three times as likely as other workers to experience poverty”, according to a March 2014 report from the National Economic Council and the United States Department of Labor

That might be okay for a teenager trying to earn some extra cash during the summer, but what about single parents who have to afford day-care services and put food on the table? In addition, in some restaurants, employers do not provide benefits such as health insurance. According to a March 2014 report from the National Economic Council, “...servers are nearly three times as likely as other workers to experience poverty” (Stuart). Plus, some waitstaff have to rely on welfare programs to survive alone. “Tipped workers are heavily reliant on public subsidies to help make ends meet,” reports research economist, Sylvia Allegretto, who studies at the University of California and is a former waitress. She elaborates, “Who helps them bridge the gap? Taxpayers”
“I’ve been here for ten minutes and my server hasn’t taken my order yet!” This is a direct quote from me before I worked at a restaurant. I never looked to see how many tables my server actually had or how much running I made them do. The sad truth is most people do not notice these details either, which may affect the tip their server will receive. By looking at the attitude and maintenance of restaurant customers, you can classify them into three categories according to their tipping patterns: the “hmm…how good were they? tippers,” “the “stick-to-the-fifteen-percent tippers,” and the “I-am-or-once-was-a-server tippers”.
There is a small relationship between fast food and cigarettes where each one significantly causes long term problems. Similarly, eating fast food and smoking too much becomes dangerously unhealthy and both are addicting. However, the difference is fast food started off on good terms. It was intended as a helpful way to provide meals quick and ready, thus given its name (Aldridge 279). Fast food restaurants successfully expanded and became popular all over the world. Despite the worldwide success and popularity, it did gain negative views after weight problems began to rise. The food served from the fast food industry was never considered healthy and soon became the target for the blame on health problems, specifically obesity. Although fast
When entering a restaurant, I usually expect to leave full, satisfied, and wanting to come back again. I believe that many people expect the same thing. The way people react to service can be very different from person to person. Depending on the way the customers are feeling, or the way that the server is feeling can be a big factor for the way service comes across. Service is an important part of everyone’s lives because majority of the jobs that people preform are service related. Poor service is an unfortunate part of life that everyone comes across. The way that I react to the poor service I receive is important and can change in the blink of an eye. Whether I react in an outspoken way, by getting loud and voicing my opinion. Or if I react in a quiet or apologetic way, it can affect my server, and the people around me, and myself.
