“The Case Against Tipping”

Tipping has become just a normal expense already calculated into ones dining experience. It is understood that most services that provide us consumers a way to measure how satisfied we are with the experience of vending with a particular merchant; is done so through tipping.

It is agreed that there is a sense of awkwardness when a tip or rather not tipping a service provider is frowned upon and received with malice. It is then that one may build a reputation on being a cheapskate and in case one is a repeat customer; their next dining experience may not be so sweet. Having experience in the waitress field I know that there are those that are coined with the label of being a bad tipper and how service is not exceptional based upon that for the future.

It is however a shame that one's want in the service field to provide exceptional and great service to patrons is contingent upon how big of a tip they will get. Good service should simply be apart of the job regardless to the tip and the tip should be a show of merit for such good service provided.

    You have an idea for a restaurant tip calculator app that you want to develop to use on your mobile phone when you go out to eat. You can enter the amount of the check before taxes, the tax rate, and the tip percentage. It should display the amount before taxes, the dollar amount of the taxes, the dollar amount of the tip (calculated on amount before taxes), and the total amount including taxes and tip.…

    The atmosphere at Applebee's was very pleasant and our waiter was friendly and accommodating. We counted seven courtesies (please, thank you, your welcome, may I help you, etc.) that he said to us. Unfortunately, we did overhear another waiter making unprofessional complains about their customer. Our waiter also told us that he had been in the service industry for nine years and had been working at Applebee’s for two years. He had the most…

    They have to rely on the customer in order to make a pay check. This may make the customer fell like their being scammed out of their money, because the person serving them isn’t working for them so why should they have to pay the persons wages. Another con is the tip your giving may be as much as the stuff you bought or possibly even more. Some places coffee is just a dollar and with a dollar tip that would set the price as the same as what the person bought. Another problem is that they may have a cup set out in order to make the customer feel bad about not tipping. What if you don’t have enough for a tip at the time? You feel you have to because it’s set right there in front of you playing a mental game. OR what if they give you bad service why should you tip for…

    Pleasing the customer is one of the most pertinent things to running a successful business. Companies that make their customers feel like they matter by giving them the best quality service they can possibly give will be the ones with repeat business, referrals, and rave reviews. Those that use the tiered service system, well, I am not sure how they keep their business running with this mindset. Treating customers any other way than the best has probably cost repeat business and or positive referrals. I like the way things were done in the old days when we followed the motto “Treat others as you want them to treat…

    This week I chose an article that displays an act of kindness. Thirty-two year old Kasey Simmons from Dallas, Texas was shopping at a local grocery store. While he was shopping, he noticed an older women crying. He tried to cheer her up, and insisted to pay her small bill. Simmons later told the news station that it wasn't about the money, but rather about doing an act of kindness for someone in need. Kasey Simmons later went to work at a local Applebee's restaurant. After a few hours into shift, he received a very big tip of 500 dollars on a 37 cent bill. The note on the tip was from the old women's daughter from the grocery store. She stated that her mother was upset…

    According to Ehrenreich, people who work jobs that are subsidized almost entirely by tips should be either paid more to begin with or offered more services such as housing and food like European countries do. For example, the typical 10% tip is considered borderline excessive at table service restaurants because waiters and waitresses are already paid substantially. Also, it is common especially in Mediterranean countries for the 10-15% service charge to already be included in the prices displayed on the menu. As it becomes harder for someone to sustain a comfortable lifestyle off of tipping in America, this may be something the government will look into adopting.…

    C. Reasons that should not influence your decision to tip: There are many different things that may affect the quality of your overall dining experience. Some things are out of your server?s control. Some examples: -Not getting steak cooked properly (it is not the servers fault if the cook screws up...cook will get his money regardless if you tip the server or not) -Restaurant being out of your favorite dish -Drink is delayed because the bartender is backed up…

    The Case Against Tipping

    Being part of the service industry can be a very non-rewarding job. Many people do not understand the preparation that takes place to provide good service. Usually before a restaurant opens the staff is there polishing and wrapping silverware, filling ice machines, setting tables, stocking sugar and salt and pepper shakers, etc. These tasks help to make restaurants run smoothly during regular business hours. Also, customers may not realize that the salary provided to those in the service industry is minimal and not enough to support a family. Tips are seen as a necessity to survive and are very much appreciated.…

    TV's True Violence

    • 1103 Words
    • 5 Pages

    In her Newsweek article “TV’s True Violence” Meg Greenfield argues that excessive fictional violence desensitizes viewers to the image of violence they see on television. Her discussion about this subject “generates hypocrisy and confusion”: the coarsening impact of violence on viewers, the effect on children, the volume of the violence, and the harm of dulling our response to the real thing. Everyone knows that there is too much violence on Television and that the networks must take action. Sex and violence are mixing on the screen and are becoming a “single phenomenon” and everyone knows that this phenomenon can have negative effects on the viewers’ behavior. Greenfield reveals that this “coarsening” makes “the unthinkable just a little less unthinkable, a little more OK.” Two objections Meg Greenfield has, the first is not to the violence itself, but to the volume and the way it is presented on Television. In the history of art violence has frequently played a role in , literature, art, and for example in Shakespeare’s plays, but violence back then had actually meant something. The second objection to TV’s fictional violence is that it will affect the viewer’s reaction to the real thing, for instance, the images of the wounded kids in “Sarajevo” and in other massacres and wars. Greenfield believes that We need to be able to respond appropriately to the images of violence. While every thinking person would agree there is too much violence on TV, the solution Greenfield offers is flawed. Watching more real violence on TV would complicate the issue, because real violence can be biased, desensitizing and manipulated.…

    Efficiency is another important step to pleasing guests. The fewer trips you have to take to get out drinks, appetizers, entrees, and deserts greatly improve the tip. The more efficient I am, the more tables I am able to please at the same time. On a busy night I will get slammed if I am making a trip to get a drink for one table, while the table right next to them is waiting for their drink. It is important to bring out as much stuff…

    Secondly another reason I work at Bentleys is making sure the customers are happy and having a good time. For instance if the customers are not having a good time or are not satisfied with that service they are less likely to spend money or even return to the business. For example, some of the customer that has had a little too much to drink, sometimes they get irate if they order food and it takes longer than what they expect. These customers may say really rude and hurtful things , but you have to remain calm and professional and continue to give them and excellent level of service. So my caring about them makes them feel special and want to return to the business or even better give me a bigger tip.…
