Tipping at restaurants
Tuesday, July 24 at 2:00 PM

Shiloh Leo Augustine of Northglenn writes:

Here I am, enjoying the minute portions of the paper that still offer text, of some events other than sales. And I find some engineer who’s worried about each and every penny that some sweat-pusher will pry from his cold, dead hand’s. Reward/entitlement..., my how we like to misrepresent issues! Understanding that they make far less than minimum wage, a wage that no one could live on, I would think this perosn would feel better if our society were enjoying an economic foundation based on slavery. A growing perception shared by the authorities of our free nation. The fact remains that the reason they don’t make minimum wage, is so that some truly honest people might feel beneficient in giving a little more for the hard work that they give, on their tortured feet all day long. Night time for other’s.
I would admit, it hurts to see that cash disappear in this economy, But if we can’t share what little we have with the other deprived workers, Then I guess we’ll just quit having resturant’s in this plush country. After all, becoming a thrid world country does have it’s appeal. No more world responsibilities! Amazing how things can escalate. But there are few people who still believe this is a free state and figure there are too many people getting their freebies.
I see this not as a reward issue, but as a scared issue. As the tip is not required in some restaurant’s, would he feel better if the restaurant he patronizes starts paying minimum wage or what those people truly earn? How about they start making required tip’s? But then we could just wipe out the entire industry! Yeah, that last idea really is appealing! But then I’d lose that glorious smile I get when I tip. That’s a rough one. Losing human sociality. Maybe you ought to chip that ice off of your heart and look into some people’s eye’s. There are rewards that don’t require money. I like those people who I tip. Sometimes they are beautifully charming.
More than likely I haven’t changed your mind. But hopefully I crushed your influence on other’s. That would be nice. And i might even get a kiss out of this.

I hate to be the one to break it to you, Shiloh, but if you're looking to get kissed by people you pay money to, there's a whole other profession you'd do better to patronize than the restaurant industry. Less fattening, too.
