On #tclug it was quoted that minimum wage is $4.50 in Minnesota in the food industry. > What I have to say to you is, get a job waiting table.

I have this to say to anyone that thinks they shouldn't tip, Why on earth would he have to get a job waiting tables? It's not going to change his nor my perception of servers. To ME they are there to SERVE ME, I go there to be SERVED! If you can't bother asking me if my meal is as I expected, check if I need a refill then you should not expect ANY tip at all. You are there to serve me, and I pay you for that service. Cry me a fucking river, if you wanted to have a steady income you should not have picked a waiting job and count on 20% tips - or you should treat your "clients" like you wanted to be treated yourself. Now to be fair, there's always idiots that don't tip no matter what, and they should be the ones going to the places that you don't need to tip as you mentioned before. _______________________________________________ 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
