Pay scale
You think $275.00 a week before taxes (that's the max unemployment in FL.) Is too much to work. ( the government stimulus has been gone in Florida for quite awhile) I bet you couldn't pay your monthly entertainment bill with that much less your bills and rent.

I get it, I want the good service also, I want the smile too, but if things behind the scenes are bad for the waitress...ie. coworker didn't show, coffee order not placed... who knows....well then, with your logic, there goes the tip. Maybe we all need to extend that branch...ask them about their day, life etc, maybe you should smile more, or be more attentive as a person. 20% is nothing to be proud of and then to tic away from that....is sad, and cheap. I have been on both sides of that counter, trust me, you want to be that good customer, you want to be that person the wait staff wants in their section. It truly is a win- win. |

The more you tip your waiter, the lower that waiter's actual non-tipped wage will be. If the boss sees that you're earning $15-25 per hour in tips in a state with an $8.65/hour minimum wage, why should HE pay you at all? You're making more than the average office worker, you don't need his money. But he's required to give you something, so he'll give you the minimum he's required to give you by law. That minimum, in the state of Florida, is LESS than $8.65/hour. In the USA, a tip is intended to be an addition, a bonus, on top of the actual pay rate. If you want your waiter to actually and TRULY get paid more, you'll tip according to standard, because that's what his boss is basing the waiter's actual hourly wage on. "Standard" is not "what all the rich pretentious people you talk to who want to show off how generous they are claims they tip" The standard is: 20% for over and above, stellar, amazing, impressive service, so good that you give them that 20% and tell the manager how wonderful they are. 18% for over and above, excellent, but not especially amazing or outstanding. Just really good solid service that you'd expect from the place you're in. 15% for "she did exactly what she's being paid to do, nothing more or less." 10% for "nothing impressive, I got my food, she gave me my check, filled my water glass, and said thank you at the end - could've been a robot but I'm tipping her because she's a person and not a robot." Anything less than that, you don't tip at all, and you tell the manager. Last edited by OrangeBlossomBaby; 09-08-2021 at 09:00 AM. |

At the same time I expect to get my money's worth whether I'm eating at 5 guys or at the Chop House. If the restaurant expects me to pay the same amount that I paid before the pandemic (and sometimes more due to inflation) then I expect to receive the same experience I received before the pandemic. If it makes me "entitled" to feel I should get the same quality for the same price then so be it. I think I am good to my servers, at least I try to be. I understand that things aren't great right now but if they are making an effort than I'll show my appreciation for the effort. But if they are not, if I'm treated like "all those entitled Villagers," then I'll show my appreciation for that too.

Tipped employee in fl must be payed at least $3.02 less then minimum wage which means right now an employer must pay $6.98 that will increase as minimum wage goes up to $15.00 , the logic used to justify not tipping much escapes me so I’m not going to bother speaking about it so as they say JUST THE FACTS

I also overtop waitstaff in cash , just in case they have to pool tips they can keep the money over whatever the estimate the business uses for collecting tips and I just write cash on my credit card slip for what I left

This is also why it is better to tip in cash.

I agree with most of your reply, except 1) food prices post pandemic will not come down... so yes you will pay, at least, the same. 2) conditions or environment is not...less workers, less supply,poss higher overhead cost, more stress, more risk So yeah, I think alittle more tip is better. Ps...I've not been treated like an entitled villager...in fact sometimes it feels like better treatment...but that's OK too. |

This is so true. I was in the restaurant distribution business for almost 50 years and visited restaurants daily. I always had respect for the cooks, waiters, and yes the owners also that worked hard, long hours at low pay.In order to compete the owner had to keep prices down so they couldn’t increase pay. I always thought instead of the government subsidizing those who refuse to work it would be much better to use that money to give tax breaks to either these workers or their employers as long as it was used to increase wages. Anyone working full time should receive a livable wage but instead of helping working people we are encouraging laziness and entitlement. This extra money would encourage people to work instead of waiting on a government check. It would increase employment, improve service, and reward those that work. No sympathy for a bum.
