Do you think that being a relay system to the kitchen and carrier of food from kitchen to table and empty dishes from table back to kitchen worth what I pay, plus 10 or 20% of that? what does that make it... $10~$15 per meal served?
Not everyone makes a mess of the place... in fact, most people act like I just described. But you go with the caricature of the worst customer, huh?
Can you believe I had never watched reservoir dogs and yet... the guy comes up with the same arguments as me?!
It seems, I'm not alone in my atipism!
Most people? Lol. The only people I have ever seen do what you just described have always been ones who tip.
The problem with the argument from the guy in your video is that he is wrong. Servers do not make minimum wage. People at mcdonalds make minimum wage the last I had a job minimum wage was like 7.25 and servers were making 2.10.
I never minded people who didn't tip because I didn't need the money. I never went out of my way to be a good server to them either. I took their order gave them their food and refilled their drink if I had the time.
That guy in your video grinds my gears. Not even because he's talking about tipping either. He's just so annoyingly hipster that I want to rip my hair out. "I won't do it because society says I should" yea dude I know because you're like totally rebellious and hardcore

Also given how a lot of resturaunts hire waitress's based on how there ass looks in the uniform, you get a disportionate number of cocky and superficial girls that think there better then the kitchen staff.
I don't have any experience with something like this. In the restaurant I worked in their were 4 female employees; myself (a fifteen year old), A single mom of 4 kids, a really sweet old lady who was a cashier, and Betty the dishwasher. She was fat and everyone called her Betty la fea (which I think is super mean). The servers always tipped out the kitchen staff and the bartender.
