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?
