/ck/ - Food & Cooking

My stance on tipping:

Tipping is a means of leverage that the customer has when it comes to the quality of the service. As the waiter, you are the person the customer deals with. You are the front of house and the face of the restaurant. Your attitude and willingness to accommodate can sometimes be the difference between a good dining experience and a terrible one. Tipping is there to make sure the waitstaff are doing their job of providing good service. If you're doing a bad job, your tip will be much less. Simple as that.

I had to order Dominos last week for lunch, and it was in the middle of some awful snow. Having worked in food service, I know how shit it is for them to have to deliver in that. It was a $12 dollar order, and I gave the lady a $7 tip. Being poor for a long time makes you want to be generous in my experience.

OP, you should probably throw on a tripcode for this thread. Just sayin'

They make the food, but they also get paid much better than waitresses. And with good reason, since they have the training and the skills to keep a kitchen flowing.

The reason waitstaff earn less but get tips is because they are the face of the restaurant. They are the person the customer is dealing with, not the cooks. If they do a terrible job, they earn less of a tip, and rightly so, because they are sending a negative message about the establishment.
