I’m really not a fan of the tipping culture of the USOriginally Posted by StraightOuttaCanton
It does get a better product but breeds a entitlement
The implications of Brexit will run for years and years. Just because it has happened doesn't mean that things that go wrong as a result should be swept under the carpet under the mantra of "getting on with it" and "making it work".
It's like dropping a dead elephant in a sewer. As the shit backs up into people's houses we get told to deal with it, that now the elephant is there we accept it as that's what people wanted
I’d agree with the entitlement perspective but it’s really the bar and restaurant owners that are the root cause. If they paid a more appropriate hourly rate the situation could be different, but because it’s so universally poor, the behaviour has shifted so that it’s the customer who is ‘expected’ to make up the difference in tips.
You’re also right though, that the product is better as a consequence
Hangfire bbq in Barry closed down today because of lack of staff
Its starting to hit home for the brexiteers now they cant get a milkshake in McDonalds and a Chicken bake in Greggs.😂
I was talking to a chap who was a waiter in one of the restaurants in Epoct, Disney Wordl, Florida. he was on minimum wage, but with tips was earning $250k pa.!!!
Hmm.... that's a nice round figure.
Do people just openly disclose their earnings to strangers like that?
Not just Brexit is it.
Permanently? That place used to have months worth's of waiting lists
This is the point I made early doors in this thread.
Very sad for this business and only heard good things about this restaurant.
Never went because I couldn’t get a table for when I wanted.
2016 “They're over here taking all our jobs, wait until we get out all us unemployed through immigration will be able to pick and choose, it’ll be great”
2021 “Sod that, I’m not doing that, why don’t we get some foreigners in to do that shit?”
I thought this was going to be about Ankles posting under his "Staff" name again. And wondered what stories he's made up about the club this time to be wanted 😂
One could say the same about NYBlue and AZ City who are exactly the same. Az gets verbally abusive if people dont agree with his sentiments. Everyone who disagrees with him is a conspiracy theorist
not uncommon at some of the premium dining locations, we know a few servers from Disney, one who always laughs at the stories about tipping as they are true and often under estimated, years ago as Downtown Disney restaurants security used to have to escort servers to cars as they would have a lot of money, these days its all contactless, but these sums still work out, table of 4 spend $200 a meal, the servers area is 10 (or more ) tables, turnover of tables is slightly over 1 hour, 25% tip ( Disney even prints the Disney 25% recommended tip on the bottom of the bill ) on $200 = $50 , $50 X 10 = $500 for just over 1 hour, 6 turnaround in 8 hours, $3000 a shift
that's on 10 tables, a few years back the table numbers were increased, now servers can do upto 20 tables, the numbers are staggering
your chap you were speaking to in Epcot, would have been in a premium restaurant, looking at Le Cellier, starters $20, Mains $50, Dessert $15, Beers $10 and Cocktails $15 ( these are off the top of my head ) it would be easy for a family of 4 ( lets say, parents and grown up kids ) to spend $350 if they have 3 courses and a drink , that's a $85 tip , pretty decent for 1 table
Now don't forget, most Disney restaurants are full all of the time, with bookings being made 180 days out ( 60 days since Covid hit )
