how much is the minimum wage of a restaurant waitress in istanbul turkey? In EURO?
399734
According to this website:\n\nhttp://www.alomaliye.com/aralik_05/asgari_ucret_tespit_kom_karari_2006.htm\n\nGross minimum wage is presently 531YTL per month, but 67.70YTL is taken in tax and 78.34YTL in insurance premiums. That leaves 384.96YTL/month. Normally minimum wage is considered monthly, not hourly (thus should be considered 'minimum salary'. The same document also lists a daily minimum wage of 17.70YTL. I think that's gross.\n\nI have no idea whether it's different or not for waiters and waitresses. Probably not.\n\nAccording to www.xe.com, 384.96YTL = €230.59 at the moment.\n\nIronically, the IMF recently told the Turkish government that its minimum wage was too high (!)

Restaurants pay partial wages, but it's way below minimum wage. When waiters combine both their wages and tips, however, it usually exceeds minimum wages. Restaurants can offer waiters the choice of being paid minimum wage and not receiving tips instead, meaning that the waiter would have to turn the tips into the restaurant. But in most cases, the waiter would actually end up making less to go for minimum wage payments alone.\n\nThere is a historical reason for this, however. Once upon a time, when inns and restaurants were privately owned, the owner or a family member of the owner would wait on tables himself, so he didn't expect a separate payment for waiting on customers. In larger establishments, waiters were often relatively poor people who just worked for the free food and perhaps a place to sleep. They didn't receive wages per se. It's as if they were simply a contract laborer who took on a small part of the responsibilities of the owner in exchange for the right to collect a little additional money from the customers. Therefore, customers who wanted good service would tip the waiter (or promise a large tip later) in order to get him to work harder. The tip was perceived as a small token of thanks which the waiter could use to buy himself a drink at the end of the day. \n\nInterestingly enough, the French word for "tip" is "pourboire," which means "for drinking," hinting at the historical practice of giving tokens of thanks to the waiter so he can buy himself a drink.\n\nThe tradition endures partly because restaurants don't want to spend the additional money, partly because society rationalizes it because waiting doesn't require any type of degree, partly because customers like being in control of using the promise of tips to motivate their waiters and figuring the amount of the tip to reward or punish their waiters. Some countries are straying away from this, however, and these days in many establishments the tip is included in the price, or as the French say, "le service est compris." Americans would be quick to argue, however, that the services in establishments where the tip is included is never as good. Then again, there's no reason to assume that an additional bribe in the right circumstances wouldn't make your waiter a little more attentive!

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.

It makes no difference if you are a 'foreign' employee - the minimum wage applies to everyone.\n    *  Workers who are aged under 18 and no longer of compulsory school age can expect to be paid no less than £3.00 per hour\n    * Workers aged between 18 and 21 years can expect to be paid no less than £4.25 per hour.\n    * Workers who are aged 22 years or older, can expect to be paid no less than £5.05 per hour.\n    * Workers aged 22 years and over who start a new job with a new employer and do accredited training should be paid £4.25 per hour for the first six months only.\n\nIf you are not being paid the minimum rate, report your employer.

In most states it is between $2.00 and $3.00, usually closer to $2.00. You get tips and if there are busboys you must give them a percentage. If there are no busboys you bus your own tables but get to keep more. Some restaurants the servers put all the tips together and split them. Do not work in a place like that if you are a good server as some are not and it will affect your take home money. If someone not tipped helps you tip them accordingly at the end of your shift but if the manager helps you then you should not tip him, it is wrong of them to take your money and they are not good managers if they expect or accept it. If you are quick and friendly you can make a lot of money at a good restaurant but it is hard work. If you are the customer instead of the server tip about 20% for good service and a little more for excellent service. If the service gets by but not very good then give a 10 to 15%. If it is really bad leave no tip and ask to speak to the manager. Sometimes the price of your dinner will be reduced for the poor service. ◘

A glass of water!\nNo seriously, like $5 - $10...\nThat seems fair.\nYou could do 15% of total delivery charge like a restaurant, cause they are doing more work than a waiter.

Well I have two jobs and one is waiting tables at a tiny place here in my town. There is ALLOT to the to-go orders. I answer the phone, write it down and I make sure it is correct for the customer and then I take it to the cook. She cooks it and I bag it up and make sure all of the necessary items like salsa, sourcream etc......are inside and of course I ring up the food. (it takes time). So i would say tip the person 25 cents if it is 3.00 or more etc...it is only fair. We work hard to get you happy with your order so a tip bit of money wouldn't hurt.
