There is a difference between knowledge and wisdom. the Internet provides knowledge at your fingertips, but wisdom must be taught, and it isn’t.
I’m with the Millennials here, at least for places with a $15 minimum wage - the tip is INCLUDED in their wages.
And most of the world doesn’t even tip...or tips very little.
Not surprising given that during the Obama economy, they were lucky to get Barista jobs at Starbucks. The hopey changey thing didn’t work out so well for them - nor did degrees in gender studies.
They have no money!
Tips? Most of them have no little or no money. And in states like CA, most will never be buying big ticket stuff, like homes and all the expensive stuff that goes along with that...
Clue- They can’t do the math. LOL
I have my places to eat and have cultivated great service by rewarding my regular servers with well above average tips.
It pays.
However, I have run into unfamiliar servers, at times that believe that they don’t need to write down my order, that they can remember my order just by listening to me give the order, all the while smile f#%$&ng me.
Inevitably, they usually get most of the order wrong.
Tip?
Zip.
It’s an educational tool.
I’ve got a demographic that has millennials beat at being deadbeats: native Americans AKA Indians.
Millennials also provide poor customer service in general. Generation Z is worse because they openly show in their demeanor, words, and attitudes, that they actually resent customers at their places of employment.
Sign of the times and of impending doom I think.
On the other hand, I think a lot of millennials, along with Generations X, Y, and Z, are looking for meaning and are open to learning and following leadership if good people step up and lead. Otherwise there is a dangerous vacuum that will be filled with something.
A lot of them know they’re being lied to by the media. In spite of trying to dumb down society and implement ubiquitous mind-control, a lot of young people are too smart to buy into the big lie.
You take your kids out to eat and teach them how. They don’t know how otherwise.
I was a bartender for six years and generally consider myself a good tipper. For good service I usually tip between 20-25%. I have also found that bartenders and waitresses are among the most generous tippers.
They probably FEEL that THEY should be tipped for gracing the establishment with their highly esteemed presence.
The millennials are the first American generation when more than half of the generation were born out of wedlock making them b@st@rds. No we find out they are cheap ones too.
What about Black Millennials?
My late B-I-L was in the Restaurant Industry for years. He told me his Black Customers were the worst Tippers as well as being very demanding and high maintenance.
The only other Customers who came close were old White Women who carried coin purses. LOL
When I was a child, Little old Ladies would work your *** off all day for 25c and a piece of ribbon candy.
They had no money.
My Brother cant pass up a SOB story from the old timers, Now in his late 50’s He’ll work all day for a Sambuca and a slice of Home made Lemon cake...
Well yeah, younger people have less money, no shocker.
Three of my grandkids waited tables—————great tippers.
.
Well let’s see, Millennials are youngest and bottom end of the wage scale and they tip the least .... SURPRISE! SURPRISE!
