I give a good tip, if the wait staff does a good job, a great tip if they are exceptional. That said, the thought always comes up, that I just paid $189 for a meal for two people and the owner can’t afford to pay his good help a decent wage???

Does this make any sense to anyone else? Is it our fault (the customers) that they are underpaid?

Just curious...what do you define as “a decent wage”?

Mr Pink! I remember this discussion. (Warning. Harse Language.)

That’s why I don’t eat out very often. I just can’t afford to. As for the prices, who knows? Rent, taxes, wages for the workers and chefs, and relatively short hours when they really do good business.
