If you are paid wages to serve the food on the plate and to place that

in front of the cusomer then that is what you are paid wages to do.

In the U.S. the minimum wage for servers is lower than for other workers,
and the tax folk assume you get tips.

That is immoral on a number of counts.

Like it or not, that's the custom,

Yes. So why doesn't anyone think about the custom and start to question why
it is that way?

Or are you just happy to continue to blame the customers for being cheap
rather than the employers who arent' prepared to pay a decent wage?

and anybody who doesn't tip at all for normal service is a cheap *******,
who will likely get all sorts of festive additives to his food if he comes
back.

Yes that point has already been made by Charlie.

The point that I am making and which continually seems to be overlooked is
that your workers are being screwed. The US needs a Labor Day rather than a
Libery Day or are you all just happy to sit back and continue to be screwed
forever?

A little Vaseline (not too much sand, like the old days) and being told
that we are number one (Spend half of the worlds war money on weapons,
WORLD"S money, not just our enemies[ the guys that don't roll over] but
half the WORLD'S M-O-N-E-Y. We are the largest thing in conservative
governments since the Third Reich. Over the top? Wars are continuing,
Presidential ability to withhold information continues, the transfer of
wealth to the rich continues, grinding debt on those who were encouraged
(by Shrub:

ml ) to take a chance and buy a house. Torture is not forbidden,
continued detention, with no charges continues. Eavesdropping on
citizens continues.

We are given a lollypop and the pillage continues. HELLO!
On the sane (mine-not my environment's) side of gardening.
I broadcast some more onion seeds into the combo onion patch.
Adjusted paving stones in garden and seeded between the stones with
clover. Did a bit of pruning, and checked under clear plastic lids to
see if seedlings needed water (checked the troops). Hopefully, I'll get
my terracing done tomorrow and the pepper patch, mulched.
