“Nothing is more direct than the boss seeing an indifferent waitress.”
BWAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Good luck FINDING the boss in a lot of restaurants! And nothing is more direct than refusing to pay someone yourself!
“If Basking Robbins which is known as a cheerful, happy, place didnt have tipping, it was pretty strange for you to use them as your example.”
Tipping on a 25 cent ice cream cone vs tipping on a $100 dinner....hmmm...you don’t see a difference? And most BRs are not particularly cheerful, happy places, and the service there is usually no better than adequate. But then, my boss may have understood the business better than most.
Baskin Robbins was your own example.
Waitresses have bosses, I have never worked in or managed a restaurant, that didn’t have someone overseeing the waitresses.
