Paycheck stub
Okay, MelkorHimself, you think you’re pretty smart. And you probably are. But you’re still confused, so I made you a video. This is my paycheck stub from last January. It should hopefully explain why tipping is only optional if you’re a mean person. www.youtube.com That’s the video!

I always tip so does my dad and alot of my family but once my cousin bought me lunch at a restaurant, he did not tip and then he told me that food servers do not deserve tips and that he never tips ANY1(cheap asshole)
I didnt pay anything and had $0 on me but i still called him an asshole for it.
I dont think i tip that much only like 10% but i always tip that amount unless they really did a good job then i give more
@c00lwatter I don’t know, I’ve never been a panhandler, but as a waitress I carried around a shit load of cash all the time and I was quite generous. I gave money to whoever was polite and not pushy.
@Flare400 I think it’s sad that people are so passionately against tipping.
@jawbone83 I never said tipping is a horrible system. I just said I don’t appreciate it when I didn’t get tipped. I stayed on my toes and did whatever I could to please my customers, and it’s partly because I depended on them for money.
@TrooperCX Ah, here’s where it get’s tricky. Restaurants are all a little different, but when a server at Clarkes took a carryout order, they were still expected to tip the busboys out 4%. A lot of people declined to tip for carryout, even though the server was the one packing their food and bringing it over. So you generally lost 4% for every carryout order you took. I always tip 20% for carryout orders. The servers are always really greatfull.

Melkor is an ass, but he probably used extra accounts to rate himself up, i.e. you can cheat by creating more than 1 account. I think youtube keeps a record of who(ie account, not by ip though) rated what comment, so one only account can count for one +, but for views, I think every reload counts towards view count, even if for same ip and even done right after the other. I tested the whole view count thing reloading your page using tor, viewcount didn’t update.
@o0JustNobody0o I can’t do research, but whenever I upload a video, everything gets updated every time the page is refreshed, including the view counts. I’ll go to the video’s page, and then I’ll go to my homepage, and the view count will have changed. I’m only pointing out what I’m observing. I’ve noticed this before (is that what you mean my “research”?), but I suspect there’s a way to cheat. And I really don’t believe MelkorHimself’s responses are *that* popular.
@itinkuno I know that’s not true, because when you upload a video, it shows up on the homepage, sometimes. People will watch if they think you have a cute face. It updates every time you reload the page. I’m not sure if the ratings update when you don’t reload, but I know for sure that’s not true. MelkorHimself cheats his way into getting thumbs up.
@NotGodJustMoses The fact that something is allowed or prohibited by law makes it no more or less moral. The fact of the matter is that it is the moral responsibility of your employer to be paying you fair wages, and that if he shirks that responsibility, it does not suddenly fall upon my shoulders to do so. I’m not saying that it’s not nice to tip your waitress, and I’m not saying it’s not dickish to give her nothing, but that’s it, being nice or being a dick. It’s not a horribly immoral act.
@NotGodJustMoses It is, once again, then the responsibility of the establishment to fairly redistribute its profits. It is their fault, not mine, if they do not have enough profit to pay you a fair wage. I have some understanding of the laws that allow waitresses to be paid shitty wages, BUT I feel that since we are debating a moral responsibility rather than a legal one, those laws are largely irrelevant to the discussion.
@itinkuno I feel that the customer is responsible for paying the establishment a price that was agreed to prior to the receipt of the goods/service. It is from that point that the redistribution of that payment becomes the responsibility of the establishment. Thus, no, I do not agree that it’s my responsibility to pay the servers individually. They are part of the establishment, and by paying the preagreed price to the establishment, I have fulfilled all responsibility toward any individuals.
@itinkuno
why bullshit, just ask someone else. I’ve seen numerous people make comments on how ratings being higher than views on some new videos; plus, I’ve seen it myself. You’re a smart girl, I’m sure you can figure out what I say is true if you do any kind of research. Btw, I’m not Melkor or any of the people people who have commented in case you were thinking that. Well, bye.
@NotGodJustMoses Yr right, it is a gamble. Do YOU acknowledge that the customer is responsible for paying their servers? Do you decline to tip because you didn’t make the law, or take the job? If so, why, and how does that make you not responsible?
FYI, this restaurant has an insane amount of turnover. So they do pay a little bit for being dicks to the waitstaff.
@o0JustNobody0o bullshit
@NotGodJustMoses I believe you have every right to try and convince people to tip you. I believe you’ve the right to flirt, beg, whatever. However, I most certainly do not believe you have the right to DEMAND a tip when you knowingly accepted a job that pays less than the standard minimum wage. not believe you have the right to DEMAND a tip when you knowingly accepted a job that pays less than the standard minimum wage. Thanks for reading, I’m sure it comes off as a bit of a rant.
@NotGodJustMoses Why would you pick that job when there are plenty of McDonald’s jobs that DO pay minimum wage, and require much less from their employees? Because you’re assuming that your tips will make you more money than minimum wage. Thus, you willingly have taken a gamble with your paycheck, and that isn’t MY fault or the fault of any other paying customer. [Continue]
@NotGodJustMoses While I agree with this, I think there’s a more relevant point, and that’s that trying to force me to tip is trying to force me to pay more than the advertised price for my meal. Why should I pay $11.50 for a meal advertised on the menu as $10?
Another point to be made is that you are not a slave. You voluntarily signed on for a job that pays below minimum wage. [Continued (God I hate Youtube comment character limits!)
@NotGodJustMoses However, when presented with a solution that involves demanding a fix FROM these guilty parties, you essentially say that that’s too hard, and come after someone equally innocent — customers.
Customers are not responsible for your wages. Your employer is. I think that’s been presented to you multiple times. [Continued]
@itinkuno From the comment I’m replying to, it seems that you acknowledge that it’s not the customers’ fault that waitresses and whatnot make such horrible base wages. Forgive me if I’m jumping to a conclusion, but that’s what I get from it.
Anyway, here’s what I have a problem with. If my above assumption is correct, then you acknowledge that the lawmakers and restaurant owners are responsible for screwing over waitresses by paying them < minimum wage. [Continued]
@jawbone83 but by no means does that mean that i feel obligated to tip at all. if they arent doing their job, im not going to pay them. and if they dont feel like they are making enough money, they will find another job.
@MelkorHimself once again, I seriously doubt you got two thumbs up for that. Most people have had to work jobs like this, even if it was just in high school.
Also, if half of your coworkers are illegal immigrants, unionizing is not an option. And, no, I’m not going to call immigration and rat out my FRIENDS who work their asses off to feed their families in Mexico. I know multiple people who reported the restaurant to the BBB for various reasons. The BBB never did anything.
@hackel137 Yes, this place was not a step up from Denny’s.
@cannedkitty Lol, you have no idea how happy you would make your server. People would be clawing each other over who gets to serve you
@dalriada842 Tip 10% if they had an attitude, 15% if they didn’t seem to care that much. Standard is around 20%, and keep in mind that they may have to tip out the busboys and bartender, so if you tip 20% they’ll get about 16%. I, personally, tip 30% for a good job. Thanks for caring!
