Servers are under paid in most placese and over worked. I my self work my hardest every time, I always give my guest the WoW experience, but sadly not all of customers appreciate that and will abuse my kindness just to stiff me. Now even some of my tables that seem like they are happy will even leave without tipping. Now you might ask why whould they do that?. Well there are fake customers but majority of the time the people don’t know about our pay.
Most people don’t know that serevers only get paid 2.13hr and that the other $5.12 we are expected to make in tips a hour. People are use to eating fast food and not use to tipping. So when they come to a restraint they just pay wht they see on there recipt.

A contract stating that we agree to the pay of 2.13hr because it is assumed we will make the 5.12 diffrence in tips a hour. It sounds good but the fact is not every body tips well or if at all. The standard is 10% of the bill is an appropriate amount, but sadley you have 100 dollar tabs tipping 1 or 2 dollars. Sometimes you will have a huge partys of 10 and up and every one pays separate but in total you only make 4 or 5 dollars for the whole table. There are night where servers work a double shift (14 hours) and only leave with $25 dollars for the whole day. Let me exsplain more into the server

    Considering our world today a huge percentage of people truly is living on low wage salaries. Barbara Ehrienreich came up with the book Nickel and Dimed On (Not) Getting by in America in the most paradoxical way. She was in a French country-style place that offers $30 for lunch with Lewis Lepham. They were talking about the future articles that she may write for especially in the side of poverty. Considering that price of $30, that is not really the best price for lunch so that made her tell the editor that someone should do old fashioned journalisms and try it themselves.…

    Restuarants are allowed to pay their tipped employees far less than minimum wage, and as a result, server's income depends mostly, and in some cases entirely, on tips. Many people believe that employers should have to pay tipped employees minimum wage, and there are good arguments on both sides of the issue. It seems strange that a person's paycheck would be dependent on the generosity of the people they serve. Technically tipping is not required, and unless they have worked in a restuarant themselves, people might not realize how important it is to a servers income. Despite this fact, the tradition of tipping is very established, and servers recieve a relatively consistent paycheck.…

    1-2. When reading the title for this assignment, I kept asking myself what ‘tipping’ could mean. I thought of when a cup or glass tips over but then again, why would someone make a whole experiment about a glass or cup tipping over. As I started to read the article, I noticed that it was about when waiters get tipped at restaurants. That is when it started to make sense for me at last.…
