I came across this blog post in a search and I was kind of outraged, so i replied with 4 reasons he was wrong. He is not the only one who thinks this way gathering from his responses and comments, all of which are 98% misinformed or mis-assume as well.
It’s so crazy how wrong you are and so demeaning in your ignorance when you obviously have NO IDEA what you’re talking about.
1. It is part of a servers job to be friendly and pleasant. If you have some sort of issue with interacting with people or seeing people smile, then you should probably stop by a Wendy’s drive thru for dinner. Your bill that you think covers every expense, DOESN’T. Hence the reason tipping even exists. Servers on average make no more than $3 an hour which gets taken in taxes leaving $0 pay checks. This has nothing to do with the employer because even huge corporate companies work this way. You are left with the CHOICE of the amount of tip assuming that most decent knowledgeable people will leave something for servers to make at least a minimum wage hourly. It’s never really an issue because fortunately there are few of you out there that think the way you do.
2. You’re seriously talking about integrity with a post like that? Servers WORK for their money. It’s not all nice and written out in a check every Friday. Every dollar they get is EARNED. Obviously no thanks to rude, misinformed people like yourself.
3. Servers do not just take your food to you, and actually if you paid close enough attention, you would realize that there is usually a person who’s job is solemnly RUNNING FOOD. When you go out to eat you’re going for a service. You’re going out to eat because you want to sit, relax, and be taken care of. When you receive good service, YOU TIP. So if you still don’t get it, a server is there to “serve” you, and not for free because again, tips are the only source of income. You’re basically wasting space and air when you go out to eat. Just STAY HOME.
And lastly, If money does not grow on trees and this is your concern, you should probably consider the Wendy’s value meals when you’re in that drive thru. A server is not “lucky” to get your 10% because you obviously want and so desperately need it wayyyyy more. A tip is not a favor. A tip means someone making enough money for rent, to feed their family, or hell, a new pair of shoes.
If after 1000 comments and so much controversy of people trying to make you understand how you’re wrong and you still don’t get it, you’re simply put, ARROGANT.
