Ya know what... my take on this... most people tip appropriately - a few don't. It's part of this type of business I think. I can't believe that
there are five pages of this thread to tell you the truth.

Yeah...That's the way it is up here as well. It's a gratuity nightmare. Everybody wants a tip without our understanding of what a tip is...or was.
They just want free money.
It's expanding in practice. The locals, none of them poor by any means, will put their high school aged kids in the streets, stopping traffic with
collection cans for purposes such as graduation [?] or horseback ride vacations, amongst other things. My parents would have beat my ass had I ever
done such a prideless thing.

Oh well, we havn't beaten a dead horse for a while. I don't think this one has pushed any report buttons as of yet. Hope not, anyway.
Is "beaten" a word?

believe us...at the end of a fishing trip and cleaning alot of fish...a six pack of cold tecate is NOT an insult!!!! In our part of the
woods...er...desert...it aint the amount...it's the thought...and that's a load of caca that you can tip too much...no way man. It's all relative.
Hey, if I could afford to tip a hundred smackeroos when a family helped me change a tire, towed my car into their yard, fed me lobster
tacos...etc...etc...I'd do it every time. Iflyfish feels happy when he gives...I"ve seen his happy face and was glad to make him happy by accepting
his generous gifts....win win, happy happy..nighty night

Dennis, what language are you speaking?
Personally I don't think you have a clue. Do you yourself tip? WTF for?
Yes we are all servants(would you like a cold beer, what type of sauce?) but no is begging allowed.
Frankly Iam surprised at your comments but you just never know how people feel about others by what they do to make money or those that pay them.
What other meaningless demoralizing jobs bother you? Exactly what type of noble biz are you in where you can make such pronouncements without due
diligence and about others livelyhoods? Pretty darn pompous in my book.
Your presumption and blanket comments that employers don't pay enough is way off base.
Do you know the minimum wage in Oregon? In New York? In Arizona? Do you know how hard it is to pay wages and taxes and bla bla bla for employees?
So how much do you suppose is fair and we should pay our help per hour????
In my biz, I pay for employees to work regardless of how many royal highnesses are out there wanting service.
.How many and what should we give them ?
After all, I don't want Dennis thinking I am a tightwad.
When they do have to wait or be near you they get more money. It's why they put up with you and your demands, because YOU ACTUALLY PAY THEM TO!
One outta ten new restaurants will succeed past three years? Do you know why?
Do you know any of this stuff?
I am sorry we don't share the same pleasure when giving someone money they worked hard for. Personally I feel good about it, and sad for you.
end of pant
btw, it is more common than ever in CA. to be charged a % automatically. Bad, and motivates nobody, insures nada.

All the world loves a lover because he tips so generously.
I do what the voices in my tackle box tell me.

I tip heavily. I told you...fifteen years a bartender in Newport Beach and other places. If I have to explain any more than that, then you're the
one who hasn't a clue.
I don't have any idea what you pay your help. I do know that if a person devotes his full time working for you, he should be paid by YOU an amount
to support himself with at least the basics of life. This tipping crap has gotten out of hand.
Raise your prices, pay your help a living wage, advertise "no tipping allowed" and quit offering best service for the best tip. If you can't do
your best without added incentive, you're running nothing other than a hoar house.
Don't tell me I don't understand, Corky. I do understand.
Now, go thaw out some Chinese mercury for the dinner crowd.

Interesting thought Dennis.
Tell me why the food service (and all other) businesses couldn't eliminate tipping. Raise your rates, pay your help more and expect them to perform at
all times ? In food service in particular, tipping is transparent at 15-20% expected as a minimum.
Or maybe we, as a culture, like to tip ?
At least maybe when you receive more than you expect ?

Hose A,
You are an evil moderator for posting that shot of my dear departed burro "Tipper" as we found him in our back yard the night the coyotes came.

I've seen that horse before. It's something like the green flash before the sun sinks over the horizon.
OK....I'm done. [I think]
