Gratuity fees at restaurants

Yeah, what really blows my mind are Sonic waitresses. They expect tips. Seriously, wtf do they do at that job that requires a tip?

they dont get paid min wage man.. they get like $4/hr plus tips, which they have to tally and report on their taxes.. so dont be a dick, give em sum change... i tip all the sonic chicks in town since 5of6 of them are teenage white girls pregnant by black guys..

They should wear a button on their shirt that points to their belly and says "my baby is black". Then the tips would roll in.

So yes or no, do Sonic girls make minimum wage or not? Someone said they did, now they're saying they didn't...I never tip them, but that's because I thought they made minimum wage, if they're only making 3$ an hour then I'll start tipping em!

You really don't get it.
BY FEDERAL LAW, ANY person working a legit job MUST make minimum wage one way or another. If they don't, then that employer is breaking the law. PERIOD.

Waitresses will make a shitty hourly wage with the idea that they will make up to (and most likely over) the minimum wage when their tips are calculated in. If their tips and shitty wage don't add up to the minimum, the employer MUST pay them the difference.

There's no getting around that. It's law.

I thought audioholic made that abundantly clear, but apparently a couple of you guys can't comprehend english very well.

Read above.

I'll only give a tip if it's deserved. Their job doesn't warrant one at all. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/fyi.gif.9f1f679348da7204ce960cfc74bca8e0.gif

Yeah I just did some reading and I guess they only make 3$ an hour but that law stating that they must make at least minimum wage is going to keep me from tipping them. I'm sorry but bringing my food out to me once doesn't exactly warrant a tip. It's a PITA to call them and get the same girl to come out again for something so I usually only see the carhop once, and I'm not tipping because you skated 15ft. I worked harder than that at McDonalds and I never got tips.

Also, I read that some carhops would make like 100$ a night from tips...doesn't that kind of piss you off that their making such good money doing such a meaningless job? idk, it just seems like I'm bitter because I worked at mickey D's for so long making minimum and they can work doing the same type of work and make way more than I do...

Yeah, same here. I work at a movie theater and do a lot more than move already prepared food from point A to point B.

I wonder if contributions to that "I'm cute, buy me some implants" website is tax deductable? //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

lol.

I have served for 5+ years now. Luckily now I am working in IT and get to sit at the PC all day.

When I started working in a restaurant minimum wage in IL was $5.15 and I didn't make any tips because I was a busser. It sucked ***.

I still serve once in a while in downtown STL, right next to the arch, at a restaurant called Max and Erma's. For tables of like 8 or more we add gratuity. I completely understand why some say it is stupid because if the service sucks you still get stuck giving them 15-18%

BUT you have to put yourself in the servers shoes. I make like $3.40 and hour when I serve which isn't really anything on your check once they take taxes out of the Credit Card tips that are left.

Say you have a group of 8 Gradeschool kids that are on a trip. You bust your *** at their table because they are needy as shit. You find out that they all want separate checks because their parents sent them with money.

They do not have a clue what to tip and may not even know about tips. This happens all the time. Their checks could total out to $150-$200 or so and then they stiff you on the tip. Lets say you only have 2 other tables that night because business is slow and you make 5bucks on each table. That is 10 bucks plus the 3hrs you just worked making $3.40 that leaves you with like $20bucks or so for the whole night.

They add gratuity because people will come in there with a big group ordering you around. If you get stiffed then you just wasted all that time waiting on them and also didn't get to give your other customers that good of service because the big table was asking for ****ing ranch, mayo, and whatever else they can think of.

I would love to meet the cop that said I was required to pay a tip.

What a piece of shit loser.
