tipping for better runs and more hours seems like that should not be permited

It may be against a company policy, but it is not illegal or criminal.

I don't get it either, I mean I know we are tipping them for providing the service but if you are going to say that then why don't we just tip everyone who provides a service. My gynocologist provides a service but I would never pass him a couple buck with a "thanks for the gentle touch". Or maybe we should change how we do business so that everyone just gets what we think the service is worth. Next time you go to get your oil changed just give them a couple bucks when it takes forever. Wouldn't that be nice. But unfortunatly that is not how things work instead we have to pay 40 bucks for dinner and then pay an additional 5-10 bucks to the person who brought it from the kitchen to our table. God bless them!!!

No. It is not right. It has been a long time since I have looked at the laws and they might have varied a little in that time. But I do know it used to be anything over five hours you had to have a half hour. Anything over seven hours you are entitled to another half hour.\n\nI will look up and see if I can find recent laws. \nFight your boss and if they will not change then take it to the BBB or the county.

I am totally against tipping. Maybe it's because I am English, but in my country you don't get paid extra for being polite, on time and well mannered. I don't get tipped for being polite to my colleagues, or for answering the phone in a nice way, or smiling, or being nice... why should waitresses and waiters get tipped for doing the same thing I don't get tipped for... they shouldnt, therefore i do not tip (unless they are REALLY hot or if they go out of their way to help me, that deserves a tip!!)

iit would be nice to tip them but if you're not satisfied with their performance then you wouldn't have to

Don't ever laugh at the pizza guy.  I will tell you why.  You will make minimum wage.  If you add the tips on top of that,and not paying taxes on your tips you can make easy money.  Your in a car not stuck in a office some where.  You can take a smoke break when ever.  No one is snooping over your shoulder.

Yes I think they should, even though they get tips. If they can't get min wage they should take away Tip Share!\n\nI over tip too!! the other day I gave a girl an $8 tip for a $4 order at Sonic Drive In!! She was the best!!

That may be unique to California (their kinda weird out there compared to the rest of the country any how) Federal wage and hour laws require (in most cases) that time and one half be payed for any more than 8 hours in any one day and over 40 hours in any week. Their are no requirements for an employer to pay double time, triple time etc. unless it is a part of some kind of contract (union or other wise) so you will have to check with your state's wage and hour board.

i try to consolidate my errands, and i don't accelerate quickly anymore- it burns up to 1/3 more gas every hundred miles. on a job related level, i'm a server in a restaurant and i can definitely tell you where other people are cutting back!! tips are way below average.

I've never been a server or waitress but, I feel that regardless of how much in tips they make, they should get minimum wage. They work just as hard as anyone else. As for the tips, they have to earn them. Just think of a slow night and little or no tips...she walks away with what, 20 bucks for working 8 hours on her feet. I think there should be a change in this, everyone should get nothing less than minimum wage regardless of their occupation.

Your boss is a liar and a thief.  You make minimum wage no matter how many hours you work.  Also, posted in all places of employment is an "Employees Rights" poster.  Often it is posted in employee bathrooms.  See if there is a poster and, if not, he just violated two laws.

I think that some people don't really understand that wait staff work for tips, and that tips aren't just "extra" money but that employers count tips toward salary for wait staff. So, some folks are ignorant about how this system works.\n\nOthers know how the system works but do not agree with it. They then "stiff" wait staff because they don't think that they should have to pay wait staff directly.\n\nSome folks are just cheap, plain cheap.

Sometimes you don't want to tip because the server gave you almost no service.Heres your seat ,what do you want to order,here it is and then put the check down.......What happend to may I get you something else..would you like your food  boxed. you know the service part...Then you see a post like this one.must be from the one who did not give you the service as it seems alittle short..IE.( get a job as a server making $2.13 per hour for 1 week and ask this question again.) ...........Tipping is by the service given..If you took that job "wait person" . So smile and give service like you would want given you.Then you'll get a TIP

Our firm requires it.  I guess they are allowed.  I don't mind the direct deposit, but it seems wrong to force it.

This is because managers want you at work when you are supposed to be there.  If you have a schedule of work hours - you are scheduled between those specific hours for a reason, so that they have coverage to conduct their business.  Being late & absent regularly does not put you in favor with your manager.  They are not looking to do you favors & help you out, let's just be realistic.  By them telling you that the hours can't be made up, they are sort of punishing you too.  I am sure you don't get paid for hours that you don't work so they aren't going to reward you for being late by allowing you to make up the time & money.

Ignore them Sweety; if you wanna make money! You can tell 1 or 2, at most, that you can't there are others who need you also! You can also say, "these guys are bigger tippers!" You have to decide what's more important being waitress #1 or dollars! Good luck Sweety! I'm probably gonna regret saying this <shrug>\n\nhttp://www.willyblues.com/

When you give something, people will get greedy and ask for more. Look whats happening in Europe right now. Not only do they have paid leave, but their working hours are shorter, and they work less days per week. But see the effects? Their economy is in all sorts of trouble right now. Low growth rate, high unemployment etc. There's always two side to a story. So hope this will make you feel happier that you still have a job thats paying you a decent amount of money to begin with. :)
