I had thought of something profound today:
Within about five minutes, I had walked into a smoothie shop, ordered a drink, paid with a $1 tip, received my drink, and walked out.
Pretending for a moment that servers actually get their full tip (they don't), and assuming this person makes $10/hr, then by giving them a one dollar tip for five minutes of service, I effectively doubled their earnings for their five minutes. (Their wage is $1/6 minutes, less after taxes)
I received very little service, and nothing outside of what "their job" would entail. In fact, at one point the sever was impatient and made me feel rushed. Tipping is an abomination of a custom.
- stevenwoo 8y agoThe tip is often split between all the workers on duty, with different splits depending upon position.
- dgzl 8y agoHence the "let's pretend they get their full tip" statement. It's also taxed, what's your point? Mine still stands.
- jjeaff 8y agoIt is only split between the workers not managers or owners. And since they don't really do anything for your tip anyway, seems fine to split it amongst the workers. As for taxes... Only if it's reported. If you tipped in cash, you can be fairly certain that it will not get reported.
