In a lot of countries in Europe, it is difficult to fire somebody. The service issue is cultural, in two ways in fact: - in Europe a waiter constantly asking how it's going, is the food good, etc.. is considered intrusive, not "good service". - waiters not putting huge effort in cheaper restaurants is because, hey why would they when they're not making much more than minimal wage, and because every restaurant in that price range is doing the same. So, if people cared, and a few restaurants started to offer "better service", people would vote with their feet, and all restaurants would adapt. > if the only reason it's better is because of the tips then how do we get good service without them? You tell us! Are you a a software developer? Are you paid by the FP? Are you paid by the rate of bug/FP? Is the amount you are paid per metrics unilaterally decided by your employer with no way for you to negotiate? If not, do you produce quality code? How does your employer get you to do a good job without paying you a random amount that they decide, after the fact, with no room for negociation?
