From the small things like tipping, to the major things that the lobbyist pull out of there ass to get bills passed or denied.
Sad, but thats the way the world is. "Money makes the world go round" right?
On that note, i wont lie i was one of the people that was pulling 5/10's out every time i got drinks. There was no way i was going to wait in line.
I think the only line i waited in was the porta potty behind roger sanchez tent, i think i waited like 5 mins to use it. The good thing about that was that i spoke to Cedric Gervais most the time i waited |
Are employers/bar owners in Cali allowed to include expected tips in an employees salary? I know some bartenders in Cali who make BANK because they are lucky enough to make over the Cali (or SF City) minimum wage and then get big tips on top of it. Not sure what the laws here are, but I'm curious!
I always tip accordingly at bars. Simple drinks, simple tips. Complex drinks, complex tips. Take care of me, you get taken care of in return. I remember when me and friend years back hit up a bar in SF 3-5 nights a week and before we pretty much stopped going there, we could drink $70-$100/night EACH (oh the good ole days) and on some nights our cards would just be handed back to us, and on others we'd be charged like $12 ($10 was the min charge for a card there). We just made sure to take care of the tips, lol. Stopped going there because two of the three cool bartenders left (for better jobs) and the other only worked like once every two weeks and never knew when!
Anyhow, in other countries you are right. And in some other coutries (ie. Japan), tipping is culturally rude (many take it as you trying to give them money to work harder next time). Still think the weirdest thing in Japan is how you don't leave a place with your glass (beer) empty...always leave with the glass full!
