Wait staff is usually underpaid and overworked. IMO.
I don’t consider a tip an entitlement...but earned pay. If I get poor service, they’ve earned less of a tip. If I get good service, they’ve earned a larger tip.
If the food is bad...I do not blame the server. BUT how they handle my commenting on bad food...also will be reflected on the salary they’ve earned from me.
A lot of jobs today could be defined as overwork and underpay. And as an earlier poster pointed out, where is the incentive? This is a perfect example (and a few of the comments thus far) of the current attitude of “my life sucks and someone else has to make up for it”. Lets just go the route of full communism and everyone gets standard pay and a waitress can be a waitress for life because she makes the same wages as a physician.
No, I don’t buy it. Jobs that pay minimum wage are that way for a reason. I’m the words of Jimmy Johnson, if dont like ass whoopings, play harder.
