Tipping Pros And Cons

Decent Essays
Tipless I decided to write about tipping for this essay because I have been a waitress for over two years and it is really irritating when people do not tip. It was easy for me to think of things to write about since I have had so many experiences with it. I made the title “Tipless” because the essay is about not having any tips. I incorporated examples of my own experiences with tipping as well as others’ in order to get a wide variety of stories. I also added in how tipping originated and who surveys showed was most likely to tip to give the readers more background information. I had compared this essay to Life cereal because it was quite plain and not very much fun to write. My peer response group helped me quite a bit in this essay. Some

    The article "Why Tipping Is Wrong" by the New York restaurateur Danny Meyer, talks about the pros and cons of tipping in restaurants. In my opinion, tipping should be optional to whom would like to leave a tip. I disagree with the article "Why Tipping Is Wrong" for the reason of people work hard to get your meal to you in a efficient manner and give you appreciable customer service. In the article "Why Tipping Is Wrong" states "Tipping has created a two-tiered wage system with deep social and economic consequences for millions". Throughout the article "Why Tipping Is Wrong" I realize that there are many different variations that tipping is being described as racism.…

    These days, most people choose to go out to eat at a restaurant instead of cooking a meal at home. It is the same routine everywhere – a server greets you, takes your order and serves the food to you and when you are all done eating, you tip your server based on the service they provided. But have you ever wondered do these servers actually enjoy their job? It is pretty much required for them to pretend like it is the best job in the world even if they think otherwise. Their positive attitudes is one of the ways they make money.…

    Alongside, if the restaurant works with the tip credit government policy and there is customer shortage, the workers might receive a pay much lesser than a minimum wage. People want to eat at cheap restaurants; however, they do not want to tip at those restaurants. If customers go to expensive restaurants, they are only willing to cover the exact food cost. Tips at huge restaurants (5 star hotels) should be incorporated between the food costs at a restaurant not as a separate gratuity charge. Restaurants can give a different outlook towards customers if they show a “No Tips are Required” sign outside the particular restaurant.…

    As someone who makes his living on mostly tips it might sound obvious that I don’t want the tipping system banned, but there are a lot of people out there that think it should be. People argue that tipping is unreliable and unpredictable and that an hourly fixed rate would be better for servers. The truth is that tipping is not as unpredictable as people think and is actually much better for servers than a fixed hourly rate As a delivery driver, I have noticed a pretty big difference between the quality of my service and how much people tip. If I get there early people normally give me a better tip, and if I’m really late, I’ll get a smaller tip or no tip at all. The same thing happens with waiters and waitresses in restaurants, better service…
