Does anyone know that the term TIPS stands for? 10 out of 10 wait people have no idea.

Never been a wait person, but if any are on here---To Insure Prompt/Professional Service. Tipping was never supposed to be "required" like it seems to be now. I am a good tipper, so no one needs to bring out the flames, but hate having to do it. I would much rather have the owner raise prices if he has to, and pay the employees a fair salary with insurance. I hate tipping for many reasons, but just 1 of them is the unfairness to the different shifts. You can take a server on the day shift who works just as hard-or harder than the servers on the evening shifts-but gets much, much less in tips because the meals and alcohol in the evening are more expensive than bacon and eggs. I do think the people who have to give up their evenings to work should ,however, get maybe a couple of dollars more/hour as compensation. All you have to do to get a tip from us is to check back once after we receive our meal. The server takes the order, but frequently a runner brings out the food. If the server can't check back within a reasonable time to make sure our food is correct, and to refill our drinks, I don't feel that person has earned a tip

I am a breadie too. Hate to bear bad news, but read online last night that Olive Garden was going to start bringing out 1 breadstick per person and 1 "for the table". You can request more and they will bring out 1 breadstick for you at a time. Yuk!
