Hey man - I agree with what you are saying... But currently, the way shit is - the pizza guy deserves a tip.
Then the pizza man needs to quit find another job, start a union or ask for a raise, Or the employer could just fire you and hire some 16-20 year old (Which are never really in short supply) who lives at home and doesn't really need money. If you have to survive by getting tips your employer is ripping you off, It isn't the customers job to pay the employees, The customer buys the product which is suppose to cover the cost to make and handling.
Expecting tips as employee pay is criminal on the employers part as far as I'm concerned, ripping off your employee's and your customers.
He deserves a tip for what? Doing his job?? (which half the time these people w
ho want and expect tips no matter how they perform) There are many jobs that are minimum wage that never get tips, I had one for a good while.
And how about another Job? I'm sure the pizza man who is desperate for money isn't working 80+ hours delivering pizza's and still not able to make a living. He's working 4 hours a day and not doing shit in the rest of the day.
Wanting and expecting tips is the same thing as begging.
I've worked in the restaurant industry on many different levels, and pissing off the folks that handle your food is never wise. In other words : TIP. Trust me, SOMEONE will remember you as the guy that called in a huge late order and tipped 50 cents.
Yea that's great, and then they won't come to your store and you'll be shit canned cause you do a shitty job and have a shitty attitude at work, and attack your customers because you want their money.
You do a superb job for me and I'll probably tip you, but almost all the time its just punk ass kids who hate working and the customers.
The employees have just tricked all they're employees with this tipping bullshit, so they don't have to pay them.
I do donate money to organizations I want to help and those little signs that are always on tip jars just remind me of the Hobo's down town holding bigger signs with the same slogan.
