It should be a requirement that a young person has to for at least a month.

They would soon realize how ###### a job it is, and why a 20% tip is required for good service.
So many times I had tables that had a great time and only tipped 10% bc they were old, cheap, foreign, etc. If you don’t have the extra 3$ to tip 20% then don’t go eat to eat.

WHEN DOES IT END? ITS AN F&B PEOPLE CONSPIRACY.

I just read that in Naples the avg. tip now is 23%.
I remember when it was 10. Then 15. Now 20.
I’d think it could go no higher than 25 but who knows.
I tip between 18-22 for dinner but when lunch is only 7 bucks, I feel you need to tip at least 2 bucks. That’s 28%.

Lunch: $4 per person if the meal is under $20. 25% if it's above.
Dinner: $6 per person if the meal is under $30. 25% if it's above.
I never tip less than $4 for lunch or $6 for dinner. Doesn't matter what the bill is. I go higher if the bill is higher.
For drinks, I'll generally do like 40%. So, if I pay $5 for a beer, I'll tip $2.
I don't judge other people for doing less. I just feel better by doing my part. Part of the experience of eating/drinking at a restaurant is having someone serve you. I feel like you should pay for it.

I'm inclined to think if you haven't worked in landscaping, construction, or food/bev in your life, then most likely you are a huge pusssssy who is anti-social.
My jobs:
- Worked in family's landscaping business starting at age 10. Every weekend and every summer until I was 16. - Fry cook at KFC - Park ranger (i.e. cleaned bathrooms and shoveled ashes) in high school - Roofer (1 summer...never again) - Waiter (college) - Bartender (college) - Tour guide (shovel horse crap in addition to orating history while driving a horse carriage filled with fat people from Georgia).
Graduated college.
- Crap entry-level job - Crap junior level job
10 years later - 6 figures. Good benefits.
I think a lot of conservativealex's schtick can be traced to the fact that he's obviously never had a real job.

It would be a requirement for everyone to work the other side of the counter for a summer or semester.
The world would be a nicer place

To this day, I physically cringe when I see people being rude to a service worker. I then froth with rage.
If you've never worked in that world, you would never understand. It really does help you put life into perspective.

Ya'll try coming up in the cotton mills and other textile jobs. It paid more than service industry. But lawz, them lent heads were a rough bunch. Most of them were salt of the earth people. But you ever get on the wrong side of one of them mill hill women you might wish the deebil was holding your hand! They could screw you over six ways from Sunday and laugh in your face. Mean as a cornered bobcat and devious as Saban hisself.
And don't ever flirt with one of them girls and then turn down her advances or you might think you were dosed in kerosene and lit afire. When the expression "Hayull hath no fury..." they were referencing those red clay country girls.
Rude, pfffttt!
