I've always wondered why, if I have a $19 tab, (per the check) $20 is not enough? Does the server staff work for me? No. I am the customer. I went to the establishment to relax, or whatever. Why is it basically mandatory I help pay the staff's salary? I'm already patronizing the establishment, purchasing goods they are selling to me at a profit. If the staff is that underpaid, why am I obligated to compensate? All the different jobs I've had, from the lowest, peanut paying positions to the best, no passers by, bosses, or anyone else has tossed 15% of my wage on the table as they passed thru. I guess I just don't get whats up with that whole thing. If you're underpaid and want a raise, you talk to your BOSS, you don't call the customers 'cheapo's'. In NO other business would this be acceptable, ever. -mj > > So, that all said.
