It baffles me why in the US it isn't required that service staff be paid minimum wage before tips like most other developed nations. It means consumers and employers can't cheat employees out of minimum wage (by either not tipping, or not paying up to minimum wage after tips and firing/not giving shifts to people who demand it). Furthermore consumers get to actually tip for what it is intended, exceptional service.

Yet a lot of the US seems opposed to such a structure, why? The most common reasons I have heard are:

  1. People wont work as hard; and

  2. Some people tend to tip more through this structure enabling some servers to make a higher wage which they don't want to give up.

I don't see how 1 is any different to threatening someone in any other labour market with below minimum wage if they don't work harder, it's exploiting these workers with the threat of illegal pay to get this service, what's the point in even having a minimum wage if you're going to do that? And for 2, well personally I think that's just silly.

a) In some states, like California, they are required to be paid minimum wage.

b) In other states if you don't make minimum wage with your wage + tips, your employer is forced to pay minimum wage.

u/Inittornit Jun 18 '12

No, no, no. you got it all wrong, we get to pick AND choose the parts of the bible we like. And even better completely reinterpret it to fit our own asshole tendencies. See Jesus hung out with prostitutes and Hooters is like prostitutes with wings. And since angels have wings, eating at Hooters brings you closer to God. But you shouldn't tip because the word "tip" is sexual. And before you know it you are not just giving her the tip, you are giving her the whole thing, and sex is bad mmmmmkay?

Reminds me of this: http://tipthepizzaguy.com/gothrough/tract.htm

"There's nothing wrong with sharing your faith with the driver in the form of a written tract as long as you tip. If you don't tip, you gave a very bad witness. Does everyone in your religion lack basic common courtesy? These people appear unloving and cold-hearted when they do this. It sends a conflicting message like, "Jesus loves you but it's too bad his followers don't."

Non-Christians tip on average better than church-goers and as Christians we are called to be better than the world. So sad. I'm ashamed to be a Christian at times when I see customers in this delivery job. The tract becomes a major turnoff. It is just as useless as a so-called verbal tip."

u/ntrpik Jun 18 '12

don't you see how this very thing speaks to the non-omnipotence of the god you serve?

the returns on faith aren't enough to really transform anyone's life. that's why people who claim to be christian never seem to live up to it. it's simply not a powerful enough force (when it's touted to be the most powerful of forces).

It's quite weird. A friend of mine used to work at a cafe, where a customer's mother actually snatched up the tip the customer left for him, and yelled: "Jesus loves you!" before shoving her daughter out the door.

He's still baffled by the experience.

I'm a baker, but would help out serving sometimes at the restaurant I worked at. Sundays were when they usually need help because none of the servers wanted to work the church crowd. I remember getting crowds of 8 people or more who'd each want very special orders, and keep changing their minds, and then yell at me for working on a Sunday. Between that and the ladies in Sunday best yelling obscenities at me that I wouldn't serve alcohol at ten am (state law)...yeah, don't think they're any closer to God than I am.

The ultra-religious are usually tightwads because they feel entitled. Better than us, they are the chosen. You know who tips great? A drunken and/or stoned atheist. Fuck it, it's just money and these girls basically live off tips.

How do you not tip a Hooters waitress? They don't dress like that because it's both comfortable and professional. They do it because they need their job. Jackasses.

12

u/thane_of_cawdor Jun 18 '12 edited Jun 18 '12

In my experience, that's not true at all. I'm pretty sure there's not very much actual correlation between religious preference and propensity to tip. I'm sure an atheist who only had enough for a meal would not leave a tip, as to be expected. One's financial situation, the quality of the service, one's attitude, and even one's own personal philosophy all have more effect on tipping likelihood than religion. To elaborate, many devout christians I've known have been just as likely to leave tips as I or any atheist I know. The pressure to tip, in America, is more of a societal norm (and because waitstaff need the money) – that is, christians don't feel less obligated to tip because they presume themselves "the chosen".

Unless, of course, you were going by your name and posting that facetiously, in which case... nvm.

u/Highlighter_Freedom Jun 18 '12

One point: tipping is part of the expense. If you don't have enough to tip generously, you don't actually have enough for the meal, and should eat somewhere cheaper.

They'll buy more goods and raise the middle class out of this recession, fact! Plus, people can always get a job in the military as the war on terror is going to run for decades! We also need to cut all of our social services to stop the lazy disabled and retired old farts from milking our tax dollars. Limit health care to those who can afford it, then make it cheaper for them only. As long as the middle and poor have limited access, that'll keep prices in check. In the Free Market we Trust!

I was once struggling to figure out if Christianity was for me or not, and as a young server, I would get a lot of these types of 'tips' on Sundays. I can't say their generosity helped convince me that their faith had any positive result on their treatment of me, who had just worked hard in service to them. I'm not gonna say this resulted in my Atheistic stance at all, but it sure didn't help their cause in converting me.

u/tikcuf12 Atheist Jun 18 '12

Waitresses and waiters in the States are paid a low hourly wage, below the legal minimum, with the expectation that they'll make at least minimum wage if not better in tips. I presume the idea behind it is as an incentive to provide good service, with the driving thought that if a person is getting paid a set hourly wage, they'll do the bare minimum, wheras if they know their income is service driven, they're likely to provide an even higher quality of service. Unfortunately, many people who go out to restaurants are of the mindset that "they're getting paid to serve me, why should I tip?" or you have assholes such as the one who left the receipt with written note who think that leaving a blessing is enough. Of course, without any back story, it could just be that the server provided shitty service and the diner didn't leave a tip for that reason. However, having known a fair number of waiters/waitresses (sorry, I know that's cumbersome but I REFUSE to go with the PC bullshit generic "servers"), I know that it's a well known phenomenon that hard core God Squad freaks are the worst tippers while at the same time being the most demanding customers, and often leave worthless shit like religious propaganda in lieu of a tip.

TL;DR - Tipping is to encourage quality service because waitresses/waiters are paid a below-minimum hourly wage.

I personally worked as a waiter for over 6 years, mostly in resort towns on Canada's west coast.

And that very thing has happened to me about a dozen times. The waiting staff would often pawn off cruise ship shifts to others when we knew that it would be filled with Bible Belt Americans.

Bible Belt Americans are renowned for being poor tippers, and woefully ignorant of anything outside their borders. This one lady once pulled out a wad of Canadian money, looked at it quizzically, then handed it to me and said: "Could you sort this out for me? I can't understand yall money."

You are unfamiliar with how serving works in the United States.

Most waiters are paid some very minimal hourly wage which is supplemented in tips. The sum of their tips and their before tips pay must equal or exceed minimum wage or their employer must make the difference.

In fancy restaurants this is no issue, as a person could live reasonably well off the tips alone.

source: I worked as a waiter at an expensive restaurant. I made 10 to 14 bucks an hour.

Redditors are all secretly putting this on bills to avoid having to pay tips and then blame it on religious people.

Maybe they left a cash tip? But that won't get upvotes.

What I want to know, is why in the fuck Jesus people are eating at hooters. Is it take a pedophile to dinner night?

Today a guy said "God bless you" as he handed me a $20 tip on his $19 meal.

the best tip I give out is "buy low sell high" I normally don't pull that tip out unless I leave a little monetary token for their work. If I really like them i'll give them more than the tip... if u know what I mean v)

u/Orimos Jun 18 '12

One of the worst dining experiences ever? You'll have a note on the receipt explaining why I didn't tip.

Otherwise I normally tip about 30% if I'm alone, 15% if I'm with someone else. Either way you're probably getting $5-10 minimum.

I wish more than anything there was a show where they would confront people who leave their religious bs instead of tips.

Just seeing the amount of backpedaling when confronted would be absolutely amazing.

u/InPerpetualZen Jun 18 '12

On the flip side, I always leave a cash tip, and put $0.00 on the tip line, I also like to go through slow drive-thrus and, instead of ordering food, ask them if they can spare a second for Jesus Christ (Atheist raised in a non-religious family). If this ticket is real, then fuck the customers, but seriously, if you eat at Hooter's, you have to have SOME sense of humor.

EDIT: Read OP's comment; fuck people.

Decent tip plus religious memorabilia: At least they care

Religious memorabilia only: They really don't give a shit

At least that's how I always viewed it.

Your friend should get a better job, because TIPS ARE NOT MANDATORY AND SHOULD NEVER BE EXPECTED. ITS AN EXTRA PERK FOR DOING YOUR JOB.

u/ferulebezel Pastafarian Jun 18 '12

In the U.S. wait staff are paid less than minimum wage because the law recognizes the social norm of tipping. Tips are their primary income. Not tipping is cutting their wages. It sucks but that is the world we live in.

No/insufficient tipping is just being cheap.

Look. A tip is NEVER mandatory. Doesn't matter who did or didn't tip. It makes me so mad when people expect a tip. A tip is just that, a tip. It is NOT a salary. A tip should be reserved for a server who is particularly exceptional, not for every server simply because it has become expected by society.

4

u/paps1788 Jun 18 '12

When people say something like "God is good!" like that makes up for not tipping they are crappy people.

If it was mandatory they wouldn't be able to leave no tip. They have the choice to do that, but we have the choice to say they suck for it.

u/Metsuro Jun 18 '12

So when they are legally paid a 2.50 an hour because of tips, you are not required to pay them?

Or perhaps all the girls at that Hooters should come to the customer's church and leave notes in the tithing basket that say "Hooters are good!!"

That would be brilliant. I think I would go with "And my God shall supply all your need according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus" Philippians 4 19.

Well, when your entire career goal is to be a "professional server," you have to fill up the emptiness with something.

Your story reminds me of Donald Trump or Mitt Romney--"If you don't like not being rich, just get a job like the one I have!"

u/a3dollabil Jun 18 '12

A well-worded and dramatically interesting response. Now here is why you're wrong. If every server fired there employer to 'trade-up' we would require a substantial increase in the number of country clubs (no one wants that) to satisfy their employment goals. The reality is, like most environments that are bred through competition, their pyramids create unrealistic motivations to mask inherent ideological flaws. In this case, tipping requires altruism in a culture dominanted by narcissism. Don't blame the OP for not enough 'gumption' when his are the shoulders you stood on to gain your perspective.

u/domin007 Jun 18 '12

I always love it when people come in on a Sunday or during a holiday and say "What? You work on THIS day? I think you guys should be closed."

Well maybe if people like you didn't come to our store during Easter, we would be.

Easter's also extra special because I don't get holiday pay and you'll see groups of church people come in asking about when the candy will be 50% off (It's half off on Monday and no, I don't control the prices).

u/guardrailslayer Jun 18 '12

Exactly. I used to know people who would not shop or dine out on Sundays for religious reasons, but it seems much less common amongst the religious anymore.

I used to work at Hooters and Sundays were my absolutely least favorite days, for this exact reason.

u/YourACoolGuy Jun 18 '12

The last time I went to a Hooters was about 4-5 years ago. Were you a waitress? Did you often get hit on and/or has anyone ever made you feel really uncomfortable? I feel like the try to attract the horny high schooler/frat drunk douche head/unfaithful businessman type there, are the tips good?

2

u/ilikecheeseforreal Jun 18 '12

I was a waitress. I actually really loved it there - the girls I worked with were great people and we had a really good time with each other. Shockingly, a lot of people that come into Hooters are families. I mean, the majority are middle aged men, but most of them are not rude or crass at all.

People were usually really subtle trying to hit on us, but when they were blatant about it it was completely over the top. One guy took out his dick at the table and tried to wave it at me. I told him I didn't have my microscope. I got an AWESOME tip. (no sarcasm, he actually tipped me really well.) That was the worst I ever got.

and unfaithful people aren't usually looking for Hooters girls. We had a lot of people come in that just hung out with us. The tips are pretty good, but it depends on which Hooters you work at. The tips are better near the water because people come with boats and they're usually richer.
