Days ago I read an article about a LeSean McCoy from the NFL team Philadelphia eagles that
left a 20 cent tip on a bar over a 60 dollar bill.
I heard people outraging because it
was a very small tip, and the owner of the bar published the bill with the 20
cent tip and the signature of the guy on it. Also the owner trashed LeSean
saying that the waiter gave him a great service and he is a millionaire so he
should have gave her at least a 20% tip, at least 12 dollars for all of you who
doesn’t want to calculate it.

LeSean said that the service wasn’t
good, so that was reflected on the tip. So who do we believe? The owner who
never will admit that his restaurant gave poor service or the guy who say it
wasn’t a good waitress?
Well is easy, tipping is not a responsibility,
tipping is a gesture that says “you worked great here is a little something”
and is a little something, is not like there should be a rule, or you have to
tip everybody because is part of the job description. The waiters and
waitresses have a salary, waiter is a paid job and tips are the extra. Yes they
expect to have some extra cash but is extra they shouldn’t count on it as part
of their payment, because that destroys the whole meaning of tips, if you are
already counting on the tip you are not going to give that extra mile for the
chance to have some extra cash.
That point bring me to my other
point, it is LeSean money if he wants he can leave 1,000 dollars tip or none,
no matter how hard the waiter had worked if he doesn’t believe in that he has
the right to just pay his tab and leave, no matter how much money he makes now.
You know how long a NFL career is average? 3 years, so if he waste his money
those 3 years he will be homeless the rest of his life. And NFL players have
bad knees so they can be waiters.

| I'm with you man, if the service isn't good there will be no tip. |
Who is the bad guy here, the
government and the restaurant owner, why? Because on Pensilvania the law says
that you can pay $2.83 an hour to anyone who receives tips, and in that
restaurant the tips are divided among everybody waiters, busboys, bartenders,
and cooks. So that jerk of an owner called Tommy Up is fucking everybody paying
a sub-slave salary and now throwing insults to the clients because this poor
people make too little money.
 |
| The face of a guy who thinks that the clients should pay the waiters' salary, Jerk! |
This owner is the real jerk here,
and now he is insulting a guy who fucked up his knees and get concussions for a
living because he is not paying a fair salary and the waiter need more money.
Time ago I was broke (as usual) and
I went to a dinner with friends, so a friend pay for my dinner. The service was
terrible, it took them close to 2 hours to bring our food and the waitress was
nowhere to be found all night except when she said “are you going to stay
longer? Because we need the table” in other words she was kicking us out. So my
friends pay and a girl said “we have to put a 20% tip” I remained silent but thought
“that woman don’t deserve a dime!” my friends put on a tip of around 70 dollars
(we were a big table) and left. I tip when the service and the food was good
and I like it, but that night was horrible.
What I want to say is, fair payment to
employees and tip if you want, but don’t attack somebody for not tipping.
