Why take it up with the manager if the service was bad... just dont leave a tip. A tip is never mandatory. These people did not do anything illegal. A tip is for good service and forcing them to pay it would be making them pay for something they did not receive.
Ive was a waiter briefly and realized it was a lot easier to just get a new job than depend on tips to pay bills. I get tired of hearing people complain about their crappy job.
I always tip way too much, but that is because I am a regular at most restaurants or bars that I go so I always get great service and a discount or some sort of hook up.
This issue has been in the news lately because of Oprah. Apparently she posted a list of tips to save money during a rough economy, one of which was to tip only 10%
I would rather restaurants just charge more for the meal in the first place and pay their employees at least minimum wage. That way the tip is a bonus for a job well done not something waiters depend on to pay their rent.
The argument against that is usually that the quality of service would decline if the employees knew they would be making the same amount no matter how well they did their job but I dont think that is true. Not getting fired because youre doing a lousy job is a pretty good incentive. Another argument Ive heard is that it is just not possible to pay servers minimum wage because it would cost too much. I am more inclined to believe this. I know fast food joints can pay minimum wage because they can serve in a few hours the same amount of customers a sit down restaurant may see in a day.
Wow, I was just wondering what the over/under was on number of posts until a Gere joke would be. I wouldve taken over if it was set as low as five and lost lol
I do not like any of the olympic games that require an element of judging. This is the same reason I wasnt a big fan of adding some of the snowboarding/skiing events even though I love to watch them. I do like boarder/skier cross because theyre strait forward races. IMO they should get rid of events like figure skating, gymnastics, half pipe, free skiing, synchronized swimming, diving etc.
I love parkour and free running but do not want to watch them in the olympics.
Im going to open up my computer today just to give it a dusting because of this post. I open mine up a couple time a year, usually to add memory or a hard drive and always clean it up then.
"How do you know he has not harmed anyone? How exactly? FBI?" -Yes, he is wanted by the FBI for robbery charges, none involving assault.
"Neat" does not mean "right". The neatness of this or any post for that matter is always debatable. However, just because someone thinks a story is interesting does not mean they are endorsing what it's about. There have been plenty of posts on this site that involved torture, serial killers, Nazis etc. Do you really think they were supporting those things?
