Tipping a server

[SeeBass]

You know who I think should get tips is those poor guys who pump your gas but go beyond with a good window cleaning.

Especially in crappy weather.

A dying job though.

Because their jobs are completely different and so are the establishments.

How are they different? They are both preparing the food that you eat at their establishments. But you would tip at Milestones for take out but not at McDonalds.

i hate the concept of tipping servers, hairdressers, taxi drivers. i dont tip the grocery store cashier or the bus drivers. if a hair dresser wants $40 for a hair cut instad of $35, then ask for it in your pricing. making me leave a tip or feel the shame of these public expectations really grinds my gears.

And a lot of jobs have guaranteed hours, the service industry does not.

Tipping has been around a lot longer then you have in Canada, sorry you don't agree with it. You're beef seems to be with the entire concept of tipping in restaurants, in which case there's no real debate to be had here.

Then you should have any difficulty explaining how the job for the kitchen staff at Milestones differs from that at McDonalds.

I picked up some Chicago DD last night at their store, and the debit machine trolled me for a tip. WTF? You made the pizza and then brought it to the counter. Is that not included in the price? Do I have to pay extra because you carried it from the oven to the desk?

Look at the two menus and that should explain it to you.

Why do I owe you an explanation for something so simple?

Quick question. You go to a Seinfeld-like restaurant with your friend ONLY for a cup of coffee each. Do you tip the server?

Yes you do especially if it is a peak business time.

That's now three replies of yours to deflect from answering something that you claim to be simple. Why is it so hard for you to answer the "simple" question?

So you think Milestones as an establishment and the kitchen itself is interchangeable with the one at Mcdonalds? The only comparison you seem to be able to draw is that they both are in the food service industry.

Fine. I'd like you to prove that you can answer something easy.

I would have thought that answering what you do for a living was pretty easy too. I would like to answer with relating to what you do,

If you are unemployed and dont want to answer I understand

And I'd like you to answer the questions, I've asked you

^just trolling it appears

[GGG]

The only real difference is that most fast food chains have a policy of not accepting tips.
