I see some of you have not waited tables. That's ok.

Yes, you must claim your percentage on your food sales before you walk out the door. You can't lie.

Yes, you make next to no hourly. (2.13 was my last hourly wage several years ago).

If you are serving food, at the end of the night, you have to tip out your bartender, your food runner, your bussers.

If you are cocktailing, you still have to tip out your bartender.

If you have a 10 top that walks without paying, it comes out of your money.

We tip very well for good service. Poor service is in excusable.

Asking if you need change is fucking inappropriate as tips are gratuities, not expected.

Stealing tips from customers is common. Most people don't check their credit card bills and compare.

I'm sick of coffee shop counter people who have a tip jar.

Went to a jack in the box in the dead of the night and they
had a tip jar out. Wouldn't hand me my food until I agreed to
contributed to their tip jar.

I comprehend the concept and appreciate it, but some of this is just out of hand.
