Yeah, they are there to deliver your food - that's their WAGE. The tip is extra if the customer so chooses. It isn't for anything more than the whim of the customer to further compensate the server.
They aren't your friend, they are there to deliver your food...that's the tip.
If you want a friend or more seek therapy.
In cattle car places, you need to hail your server for a refill.
Don't be so pompous, Mr. Scotch.

Sorry if you're on a shared tip system. You did state that anyone who did not leave couple dollars was a "cheap prick." The fact is, if I choose to leave .01 of a dollar, it's because my server was a lazy douche who deserves to be paid $.01, and I'm sure as hell not going to leave them a few dollars for their horrible service just so they can tip out . Be angry at them, not me.
Im not on a shared tip system anymore, don't work in a restaurant. I was just trying to say that all of the tip doesn't just go to the server. Sometimes the server pays a percentage of their tips to the busser. And another thing, some servers do more than just take your order and bring it to you. Alot of restaurants the servers pre bus tables and do clean up after you leave, and if there arent bussers then the servers clean up your mess. Sometimes the service includes more than just the server taking an order and bringing it to you. I agree with you that they're alot of lazy servers that don't deserve a tip but I know that after I leave there could be somebody that does work hard and has to clean up the mess. Put yourself in their shoes and you might have a different perspective.
Do you tip the janitor after you use the public bathroom? Do you tip the person at Old Navy cus you didn't put the pants back perfectly? Do you tip the people at McDonalds? They all clean up after you. Put yourself in their shoes.

They get paid an hourly wage. not all servers or bussers get an hourly wage, they get paid through their tips, thats the difference.
So they get no hourly wage? From the federal law all servers must make st least minimum wage no matter what. Seems like you might need to brush up on the laws.
You think every body follows every law??
Let employers take advantage of you and that's your fault.

we covered this in this thread already. works great on paper, but many waitstaff would never survive on minimum wage nor should be expected too.
And we've covered this in the other thread as well. If they don't like the pay they can get another job. Millions of other people work minimum wage jobs just fine.
you get what you pay for, don't expect to get good service or work if you want to pay people the bare minimum.

Which is a sad way to look at it. I expect people to put 100% into their jobs. ESPECIALLY if they want tips. If they want a tip they better work for it. Expecting to be tipped just for cleaning up or dropping off a plate is stupid.
The service comes first, then the money, then the tip (if there is one).you get what you pay for, don't expect to get good service or work if you want to pay people the bare minimum.
