Fox, who is paid $50 for an eight-hour shift, and relies on tips to pay his rent

Now just a minute. Many people get $50 for an eight-hour shift and those people don't expect a tip for doing their jobs. What makes him so special that he demands extra for doing his job? If he can't make the rent, then move. If he doesn't like the pay, then get another job and quit whining.

What's his problem with the $3 tip? It takes just as long to deliver a $5 order as it does to deliver an $89 order. Maybe he's a jerk and his customers are sending him a message. Tips originally were for service over and beyond the expected. Now days it's demanded no matter how crappy the service is.

Most people like this job’s pay based mostly on tips or tips alone. It is one of those areas where the consumer can set the price for the service, however, some take advantage of it to get the free or really cheap service. IE, he doesn’t get $50 an hour + tips, he probably just gets tips.

If you see no problem with a $3 tip, don't be surprised if your iced tea or water glass is slow to get refilled, or if your pizza is late getting to your door. Restaurant employees talk to one another, and word gets out on who's a cheapskate and who's a good tipper.

Scouts Out! Cavalry Ho!

Brainwashed again into feeling guilt. BTW when I save people money from my services I never get tipped.
