I despise tipping. Who do you tip? Portions of you spend hours a day on pinside, but do you tip the guy that enabled this to work? Do you tip the guy that designed the roads that you drove on to work, or the crew that built them? How about the carpenter that built your house that you enjoy for 8-12 hours a day? No, you paid them for their work, and that was the end of it. They were happy with what they were paid and that was the end of it. The people that actually cooked your food get absolutely none of your tip, but the people that walked it from the kitchen get the money. How does that make any sense at all?

I have worked for tips, and worked every job I've listed. I never understood why I earned tips for virtually doing nothing other than carrying food and putting in orders.

The tip is free groceries. I've seen people fake scan and then walk out with a full cart.

I love it personally. I put everything in the cart with the UPC visible and then hit everything with the gun in about 30 seconds. There are absolutely some people that shouldn't be using it, since they can't follow simple instructions. Stores need to actually check that you actually scanned everything in your cart. They don't and that's causing plenty of shrink.

When I was bussing in 1996-97, it happened all the time. At the restaurant I worked at, it could be a $200 error. There were tons of complaints.

That's the common sense way. We're just really dumb here.

The math skills with cashiers have definitely evaporated.

We recently bought a couple pizzas. The total was 42.37. My son gave her a $50, and she gave him $42.37 back. The order was also wrong, so they had to remake the pizzas. When we picked up the new pizzas, I had to explain to her that she gave us back the amount that she was supposed to charge us, and that I gave her a $50. She was unable to figure out that she needed to give us $7.63 back. They gave us all 4 pizzas and $8 because making change is too hard.

Oh, and they pay $17/hr at this pizza place. My son has a job at a different location.

Am i the only one that laughs out loud when that screen pops up as i vigorously mash 0%?

I think I'll start bringing my own tip jar with me and asking for tips.

As a busboy in 96, I averaged $37 per hour. As a cook/chef, I made $6.50 in 97. I was a cook, but had to act as the chef, when the chef would pass out in the bathroom for hours at a time.

I just ordered from Moe's last night. Right upon placing the order it asks for a tip. I pick 0, as I'm not tipping someone for handing me my food. Just a bowl of queso and a burrito bowl.

I pick it up and there are 6 chips in the bag. 6. Normally a full bag. I ask the girl at the end of the counter, since she's doing the chips, "Shouldn't this be a full bag of chips?" She rolls her eyes and fills the bag. When I get home, my bowl of queso is a cup and not a bowl and it's less than half full.

Obvious 0% tip retribution. Things like this make me want to tip even less.

Two large Pizza hut franchisees already announced layoffs of all delivery drivers in CA due to the $4 increase in minimum wage.

I agree, but this way, they're passing the buck off to a completely different company and can avoid the headache completely. I don't think this will be the last we hear of labor cuts due to minimum wage increases.

My 17-year-old son gets $17/hr from Mcdonalds. But his main reason for working there is the guaranteed $2500 scholarship if you work 15 hours per week. That'll pay for ~25% of his tuition.

I just got a call from Moe's, strangely as i'm on this thread. The guy confirmed that the employees have no way of knowing what tip you give. You have to be at a level above store manager to have access to what the tip is, to prevent things like this. He said it just sounds like an unfortunate case of someone doing shoddy work during their shift.

He gave me $30 in the app towards a future order and thanked me for actually leaving feedback as he reads every one that comes through. So, although the experience was subpar, the follow through was well done.

Based on the $6 increase and assuming 20 hours per week, that comes out to $7.5M annually before additional payroll taxes.

Now they're saving $20M + additional taxes and benefits by outsourcing the delivery. I can't say I blame them one bit.

Only when I want to clean under it.

Yeah, I did something real crazy. I worked while in school and got a degree that i knew could pay off my loans in a few years. Brilliant!

I'll gladly order it on a screen and pick it up at the kitchen when ready. I don't see service jobs like this lasting.

I don't even trust them to change my oil right. The work ethic isn't there.

That's the flaw in the system.

I'm generally done with restaurants altogether. Prices are way up. Service, quality and quantity are down. I can cook better at home at a quarter of the price.

Except for weekly pizza that is....

I tried a delivery service once for food and once for groceries while on vacation. The food delivery was 90 minutes late and the food was cold. The grocery delivery was all wrong. I didn't tip for either and both times the person had a fit.

You know, I didn't even realize this until you mentioned it. That just seems bizarre.

When you get a really good look at the eclipse.
