My comments were directed at the “no tipping” sentiment - which I find as morally repugnant as begging.
When I waited talbles, I refused to add the “automatic tips” for larger parties, because I almost always did much better when I left it to the customer - also, I didn’t think it was right to add the automatic to large parties.
I was burned only once - a guy left $35 for $100 service (I could explain why it was that level of service, but that’s not the point here). It made my manager angry enough that he was going to chase the guy down and demand a better tip. I wouldn’t let him do it.
Some ladies from Denmark stayed at the resort where I worked - the rest of the staff refused to serve them because they left “European” tips (1 or 2 dollars for 80 to 100 dollar meals). I went to my manager and asked him to always seat them in my section - I didn’t think they should be treated poorly for not understanding the tipping custom - and they received my best, just like my other tipping customers.
I will now accept your apology for the things you said in ignorance about me.
