Minimum Wages for Tipped Employees | U.S. Department of Labor

 

I ordered takeout during the summer from a fried chicken shack.

I got charged a $2-something “packaging fee” and a $1-something “service” fee. I didn’t know wrapping up my meal took that much effort. I’m sure the extra money only went to the person who handled service on it, right? (I really hope I don’t need blue font here.) The food wasn’t all that cheap, either. I haven’t gone back.

Places around here have also taken to a $5 “COVID-19 fee” if you dine in/outside. At first I was annoyed over this, but I’ve softened on it — as long as that money’s going to the servers and not getting pocketed by the owner. I’m not holding my breath.

I almost always tip 20 percent at a restaurant. My girlfriend moonlights as a waitress and a bartender and I’m with the Rick Stain line of thinking: I’m pretty fortunate and if I have to skip a Starbucks run, oh well.

 

Because I have bused tables.

 

I tipped $37 for my $13 haircut in May. Just handed her a $50 bill and said, "Bless you."

 

Last I checked it was lower than $3/hour. I don’t think that even buys you a Diet Coke at 7-Eleven anymore.

 

I tip a $1.50 per person at my home getting take out. It usually is about 10%.

 

LOL

 

At least we know you're not Tone Loc.

 

Awesome ... and keep their legal bills piling up. Bury them in discovery and depos. Who cares if you win ... just bankrupt the fuckwads.

 

Efficient staff you have there Maria
