Pretty sweet.
Especially considering federal minimum wage is 5.15.
lol in texas, minimum wage is 5.15, and believe me when i say, most jobs here will do everything they can to keep it at 5.15... i really don't understand why nation wide companies should be able to rake in on the states that pay 5.15... i'm sure in other states they're charging the same price for food/service that the 5.15 per hour charge, but the workers are getting (usually) way less then every other store (other then ones in that particular state) in the chain are getting....

im sorry BF, but im just compelled to write concerning this....
i had to wait for a while when i was in a bad perdicament (sp?) employment wise.
anyways do you folks realize the some of these waiters are busting thier ass and some only make 2.13 a hour and have kids to feed
should they maybe seek different employment??? yes
but maybe thats all they can do at the time, they hurry to get your food, manage sometimes 7-15 different tables and know what all people are having...
this takes a certian amount of skill....
and for 2.13 a hour..... you should atleast acknowledge thier hard work (if you reicieved good service)
BF you make alot of good posts (and im not flaming on you)
but people with your opinion, is the reason why alot of waiters treat people like shit, theyre just returning the favor
i have a couple of friends that are single mothers and are still in school and untill they get a education/degree that is all they can do (some people dont have a extensive resume like some of us)
so lets think and have alittle love???huh

I partially agree with what RonJohn and a few others have mentioned about low wages, but there comes a point when those individuals making that $3-4 bucks an hour shouldn't fully depend on good tippers to get them up to the federal minimum wage around $5-6. It's like if you know that job has piss-poor wages, why would you continue to work it lol.
I've felt for years now that the fed. minimum wage needs to increase in a big way. I know plenty of people who work full-time making only enough to scrape by, and with our booming economy, minimum wage MUST reflect that and keep up. And it's not keeping up, people are getting screwed by the system, and it's pissing me off =)
If I go out to eat, which is becoming more of a rare thing, I don't ever calculate how much to tip. If I liked the waiter/waitress and they were attentive, I'll give 'em say $5-6 bucks, but if service was bad, only a couple dollars at most.
And yes, Waiting was a side-splitter. Maybe that's why I don't venture into restaurants anymore? ~

well this is because of "state capitalism" and the fact that our economy is booming and the corporate exec. are raking it in and not passing it down to the little man
fucking mercedes driving pricks!!!!!
i work as a computer technology specialist downtown in my city and i deal with these kind of people all the time.......
they are fucking rude and think that because they have clout at their job that they rule the world and everybody should kiss the ground they walk on...
fucking corporate pricks, i hate them

haha, yes im familar with those who will refill your drink and then will go outside and smoke cigs. for 15 minutes while your waiting to ask her a question and she is no where to be found
im not saying its proper to leave tips all the time
but if they are on their game, a tip IS a must
i know not too long ago i went to a steak n shake (the best place ever) at 6am and i was the only one there...
after my meal my total was like 19.xx and i gave her 2 20 dollar bills (one for the meal, and told her to split the 2nd and keep half) she looked at me weird and said "you know that over 50% of your meal" and i was like who gives a fuck, you gave me great service, talked to me, showed me she cared more then to just keep my coffee filled....
anyways she thought i was crazy and drunk (i was completly sober) but she was happy and i was full and happy..... she made the extra effort so i did the same
if you treat me like a friend, ill do the same in return

Why should I have to tip anything at all? What, because you're on your feet all day? Your job is a lot of hard work? Cry me a river. My job is hard too. I'm on my feet all day too. Give me a tip, bitch.
If you are an office worker sitting on your fat ass all day getting overpaid, then maybe you should feel obligated to tip. But I don't sit on my ass all day.

Just keep my glass full and you get 20% from me. However, I do get confused about how much I should tipping hairdresser, nail tech and coffee shops attendents..
