Re: I understand now!
[ QUOTE ]
Is it standard in all states that serving positions get paid below min. wage since they get tips??? Never heard of this before and it sounds horrible. [/ QUOTE ] I believe the law (at least in my state) is that if wages + tips < minimum wage, then the employer has to make up the difference.

I have to wonder how the government arrived at the figure of $2.13 an hour, though. I mean, why not $2.15 or $2.00? Why make it such a weird amount?

Fine. If you still consider it your business (which it's not), I pay taxes on all of my income. Happy? [/ QUOTE ] Unfortunately, nobody is going to believe you.

Re: Got stiffed on a tip tonight
[ QUOTE ]
[ QUOTE ] [ QUOTE ] My only problem with tipping is that it's based on percentage, not amount served/work done. Why should you have to tip more because the prices were higher? It doesn't take any more work for the server if the bill is $300 instead of $30. [/ QUOTE ] Of course it does! Not always. We can be talking about a 30 dollar bottle of wine and a 300 dollar bottle of win. But usually a higher bill means that the server did more work. [/ QUOTE ] This is only true if you are comparing bills at the same restaurant. [/ QUOTE ] Explain?

I have never even heard of a server or bartender reporting all their tips. Do any of your server friends report 100% of their tips? Or are you the only one you know of? Just curious.

Re: I understand now!
It's very unlikely that a server or bartender would declare all their tips.
I think that the only reason that severs do get 2.13 an hour is so we can get taxed. Damn gov't.
