a lot of people that I know serve because its flexible and they say that they make decent money..I wanted more then decent money so I secured a job that affords me as such...anyone can do it...I'm far from cheap, but I'm not going to just give my money away either...bottom line cuz this horse is just about dead is we're not going to agree...I personally wouldn't attempt to support my child/household on a job that depended on tips..God bless those who do...
Well I'm glad that you are so fortunate to have found a secure job, because here in Michigan it's all some people have. Some people hate serving, but it's the best they can do to get food on the table for their families, or to get them through college, or to pay their rent. You personally wouldn't do it. I wouldn't either. We're fortunate that we don't have to. But others have no choice. I think you're just making excuses for being cheap.

Oh that's just taking it a bit far, don't you think?

Who said anything about being cheap?

Tipping isn't a requirement, cause if it was then it would be included in every bill for every single establishment you go to. Each individual has the right to decide who they will tip to and what they want to tip for. If folks don't like it, they have the right to do differently, but calling someone cheap for not wanting to give a tip is just rude.

And btw, I can personally give you a list of jobs a mile long for the State of MI that folks simply won't apply for, that don't require any experience or degree in that field. Maybe those who are so desperate for a tip can hit the State of MI website and apply for those jobs, and avoid the stress of not making enough in tips.

No it's not going too far. I could ask a bunch of people how'd they feel about someone who doesn't like to tip (or tips like crap) and they'll all say that person is cheap (given that the service was up to par).

Tipping is not a requirement. But if you don't want to go to a tipping establishment, then make your own food.

And I'd love to see that list.

Sistergreek, I think its apparent that this chick just likes to get the last word in so give it to her..the fact is there are plenty of jobs in most states that people don't want that pays at least the minimum wage...as I said before, people who serve often choose to because of getting paid mostly in cash daily and the flexibility...I choose to help the plight of my fellow man through communty service and charitable donations, not inflated or unnecessary tips If I complained about my unpredictable hours and the mental stress of my job to anyone they would say "look for a new job", this is no different...I joined the USAF on my 18th birthday to better my situation...last I checked they're still hiring...
