I have absolutely no experience in jobs that work on commission, so I shouldn't comment.2xDouble said:It is circular, but is that different than any other job that works on commission rather than fixed wage? Nobody balks at the sales commission when buying a camera, t-shirt, or vehicle; why do so over food?
I guess I just prefer for tips to be a reward. I am under no obligation to give one (even if I went to America). If I tip, its either small change to a tip jar, or directly for really good service or they had to deal with a large group(10+). And I leave it because I choose to, not out of guilt.
Edit:
You have got to be kidding me. How does that make any kind of sense ?SinisterDeath said:Should be noted however, that some chain restaurants, pay them normal minimum wage, and the business itself, keeps the tips, as they are not 'tipped' workers.
(I believe subway is like this, and I'm pretty sure a lot of others are like that to.)
If someone gives a waiter a tip its for them(or to be divided). If you don't want your waiters to be tipped, then don't let them be tipped. Or put those tips into a charity box. Or put it towards some kind of staff outing. But don't let customers tip, and have the company just take it.
