Tipping Rule Number 8

Rule Number 8: Tips are a GIFT, not a Right: tips are a monetary gift given to a server to show appreciation for a job well done. Why it is that some servers seem to think they are ENTITLED to a tip is beyond me. Tips are earned; it’s as simple as that. There is no law that states that I am in any way required to give a tip to a server. I wish servers would all get this drilled into their head. If they all accepted this fact, then they would also all be a lot happier and grateful when they actually receive a tip. In my opinion, if they wanted to make so much more money than the minimum wage they are getting before tips, then they should have gone into a different job field. There are plenty of jobs that do not allow tipping of the employees, and they make minimum wage.
