How do you tip?

You guys do percentage?! I don't. I'm a server, too, and I'm sorry, the percentage thing just doesn't cut it anymore--especially since servers tend to make only $3.50 an hour. And, just think, up until recently, servers were making $2.13 an hour--the wage when minimum wage was $4.25 an hour.

So, how do I tip? It depends on the service, but I never go below $2 dollars for myself.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Anyway, so how does that work? The electronic tips are included with your paychecks later on or handed out by management? How long would it take?

The place I work for tends to ask if the customer wants to add the tip to the bill--if it's a group of 10 or more. And if they say, "yes," then a slip is printed out for the server to hand back to the cashier--since the extra money is in the register.

For smaller groups--people are asked if they would like cash back for a tip. A LOT of people say yes to this, although once in a while you get a few who think the tip is on the card and I'll get the money later--although they already got the money themselves....

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Yes.

Because they are paying your bills. Without them, you wouldn't have a job. You may not like it, but that's the fact.

And, why do you vacuum at night? Dust flies. It's not the fact people don't want to hear the vacuum--they don't want crap in their food.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.
