That's sales, thus the commission.
Front of house staff in a restaurant aren't doing sales as the majority of their activities. They're customer service. That's why it's not a commission.
- mulmen 3y agoIs it your assertion that retail sales does not involve customer service? Do you tip receptionists? Do you believe food service does not involve sales? A tip is a gratuity. It comes from the customer as a thank you. A proportional incentive from the employer is called a commission.
- justinclift 3y agosigh So, is it your assertion that front of house McDonalds staff should get a commission on their "sales" instead of being paid a better hourly wage?
- mulmen 3y agoNo, of course not. They should be paid a reasonable wage for doing a job the same as everyone else. And it shouldn’t be called a “tip”, because it isn’t, because it doesn’t come at the customer’s discretion.
