You never work in a hotel. A lot of hotels in Richmond only pay $10.00 per hour. A housekeeping staff needs to clean a room in half an hour. It's really a hard job. Lots of guests said they enjoy staying in the hotel very much but not paying any tips to the housekeeping staff, not to mention they did not pay anything to the Front Desk staff.

at least...you don't get burn ...like 10 times a day.......until you don't see them as a "burn".....as a housekeeping staff..and you don't really need to deal between customers and chefs...which is a hell a lot of drama...

So twisted mind. Many other people work very hard in various industries too. It is not customers' fault for the restaurant industry to underpay their staff. I rather restaurants increase their prices then forcing customers to pay stupid tips.

Tipping is a stupid idea, the people are getting paid to do their job, why pay them more?? If in situation where they do above and beyond their roles, they then deserve an extra reward.

To say that food servers work so hard, so low pay that they need to rely on tips, it is a very twisted truth. It should be the worker to ask for the right salary from the owner, not from the customers.

I am in the service industry too, I often get tips and gifts because I went above and beyond to help my clients. I don't get paid a lot too but I get a commission off from my fees so I could make a living this way. I am getting paid to do my job, and the company pays me enough to do that, so I never expects extra from my clients.

you only gain respect when you don't ask for tips

I have a believe that for the whatever price it charged, it should includes food and service already. For example, most fast food restaurants offer simple food with minimal service, that's why their prices are relatively cheap; but for a fine dining restaurant at a 5 star hotel would offer much quality food and service, and thus their prices are much more expensive. Therefore, regarding for the tips/gratuity, since the price on the menu already includes food and service charge, only if the server provides extraordinarily good service, I really don't think why they should get more tips than usual. And yea, I only calculate tips before tax.

What if the servers don't respect you? Would you still respect them?
