Servers have for many, many years worked for minimum wage + tip. Society as a whole has generally accepted the notion that when you dine at a service establishment you pay the house for the food, and tip the server for their attention to your needs, ie. service. If an individual wants to purchase 5 dollars worth of food, and not leave a tip, then I suggest they go to McDonald's where you stand in line, and get your own drink refilled when it is empty. There are many options for people to avoid tipping, and still be socially accepted. Chipotle, Noodles Inc., Panera Bread, Burger King, etc...but please don't pass on this B.S. about not having to tip when you are dining at a service establishment. Like I said... society has generally accepted this concept, but as always there is the fringe with a wild ideology that tries to explain their cheapness away by saying, "I don't get it." It is not too big a deal if someone does not leave a tip. Just realize that the establishment, your friends, and anyone else who sees this thinks of you as being cheap, and nothing more. Regardless of your perception of the event. mcd _______________________________________________ TCLUG Mailing List - Minneapolis/St. Paul, Minnesota http://www.mn-linux.org tclug-list at mn-linux.org https://mailman.real-time.com/mailman/listinfo/tclug-list
