I will say thank you for your service to our country. And that's no bullshit. But again, I stress the vast difference between tipping for service and giving to charity (e.g. disabled/homeless vets). No need to get into who donates to what and for how much. Charity isn't about being recognized for giving.FrankieT said:
Ummm no, I didn't say that I wasn't a war vet. I said that I personally enter into conversation that i'm a war vet but if a person didn't have military service but lied to a casino I wouldn't be morally indignant about it. We're talking about casinos here.shadroch said:
.i do not think it is doing justice for people that work hard and or have went to a lot of school to make $$$ 100-150 in tip is already a lot for these kind of job!!!!!I m just saying nothing wrong for every man or woman for himself or herself!!! i can understand where both side are coming from.I do think some of these people who rely on tip are really spoiled.Ask how much the guy that works in the kitchen makes.!!! or the cook ,not even 1/3 of some of these servers , but dont work any less hard.!!! p.s. i know i have no seniority in here , and probably view as dumb and ignorant ,but it is just my thought. i also see that some of you say you have this n that kind of education n knowledge n intellect , i input my opinion just to be more fair to the poster,cause i dont see him being wrong in anyway but just a bit different in the view of most people in north america.My argument is backed by this point. A kitchen employee that didn't "have went" :grin: to school perhaps may not tip as much due to the fact he doesn't have much while the server has more but a person who makes a lot, often for sitting on his ass overseeing the real workers and made decisions that caused lost revenue and many lost jobs, saying that someone who makes less than they do yet works harder for their money is overcompensated should have their pay cut to the level of the server. They just believe life should pay them well but most others should live in poverty. The wage disparity in big companies is half the reason the economy will not recover. People with lower paying jobs will not spend the money they have while the fat cats that caused and got rich off the crash are to few to restart the economy with their spending. Lay off more "top" employees and cut the others one's salaries and give the little guys raises or higher more of them. Then you would see the economy get going again. It would help everyone but the haves just don't think of others. They only think about how they don't make as much as the few that make more.stopgambling said:I feel really nosy to get into this ,but the op is not that bad for not tipping much, because if waiter and waitress makes 200-300 ,or god forbids 500 a night in tip
This is the 3rd or 4th time you have referred to waitresses in this manner. As a veteran I would expect you would show a little more respect to women and to someone who is doing the best she can with whatever skills and talents she has.FrankieT said:

Why does someone have to be poor to deserve a tip? Tips are a big portion of her wages and classy people don't stiff their servers. I don't know, maybe you are poor. I have lived paycheck to paycheck most of my life. I always tip generously because I know how hard their job is. Of course if a server does a bed enough job my tip reflects that.FrankieT said:
That was pretty ignorant.FrankieT said:
Actually you see woman begging in the street every day around here. It used to be one begger at each of a few main intersections. Now you have beggers at any lights near a main intersection. They seem to make a decent living doing it. I prefer to give food so I am not supporting their vices. Most days I go into areas that are frequented by beggers one ends up eating my lunch. I can make it to dinner without a midday meal.FrankieT said:

As someone who did serve in Iraq this disturbs me somewhat. For starters I believe the penalty for impersonating a War Veteran in America is quite similar to that of Australia, 6 months jail and a $3300 fine. Is that worth a few comps?FrankieT said:
