When my DD was a cm at epcot in the rose and crown ,as part of the international programme in 2002 , she started off on $9 per hour, when she was promoted to server her pay went down to $2 per hour but she still had to pay her rent,bills, laundering of costumes, transport to work etc.
Yes she made a lot in tips but she worked hard for that money and paid a lot out in expenses |

Ah a good old tipping bunfight! Just throwing this one in like a hand grenade... why does it matter what someone else makes? To the OP your hourly rate is easily twice what a nurse, firefighter or service person makes but they all still take their cars to you & pay whatever your bill is. I don't agree with the US system, some European countries have no expected tips but at the end of the day you should do what is normal for that country. If servers get the minimum wage, it was one of Sleepy Joe's promises, then the Tipping argument falls flat on it's face & a lot of servers will be out of pocket but until then I will pay the 18-20%.
The establishment has to make up the difference if under tipped, up to whatever the minimum is... guess what happens if that starts happening too often ? SD

We've always left $2 pp a day for housekeeping, $1 a drink at bars; and we tip tour guides and anyone helping with bags (anywhere, not just in the US). I tip my hairdresser a couple of Ł. I have no objection at all to tipping if we feel it's deserved but I do object to being told how much.
We've always paid the 'recommended' amount but have decided enough is enough and we'll tip what we want to from now on, and if any staff comment negatively we'll take it back.

What I don’t get is why someone starts a thread on tipping just to have an argument.
I don’t believe that about the Scottish people. I agree with another poster that the servers have no idea where any of us are from other than the UK and actually assume we’re all from England. I’d actually venture that some of those “Scots” are actually Irish or English. |

There's one very easy solution. Only eat at QS places. That way you won't have to tip anything.

Yes because wanting to know if people have “strong thoughts” on a subject isn’t going to start an argument.

I have been travelling to Florida for a fair few years, back in the day a 'normal' tip was 15% and good service got 18%. Now that prices are significantly higher how come the percentages have gone up, 18% for normal and 20% for good.
Personally I don't like tipping but it is the American way so just get on with it |
