What are your tipping practices?
For two years, I was a bartender in Fairview Park at the Swinging Door Lounge. It was the greatest job I have done in my career. I met many diversified clientele who all had a story to tell.
Fast forward to today ... my wife and I frequent many restaurants. What I see is overworked, underpaid servers. When I see someone struggling to get by, I think about the fact that I was there once. Is it really going to hurt me if I throw a few extra bucks their way? God, I think, would want me to err on the side of OK.I’ve always had a regular pay check. It wasn’t until many decades ago that I understood tipping and how that business worked.
Respect and kindness should guide us all in tipping those who work in those jobs. Then let’s figure out how to level the playing field and change this unbalanced wage disparity.I received a few emails about the wage/tipping system. One person said it’s why he doesn’t tip. That’s a cop-out. The server didn’t invent the system and doesn’t have any power to change it. As you said, tip them well even if you don’t think the system is right.
