How Low Would Pay Go If Minimum Wage Law Were To Be Abolished Like The GOP Wants?

47. I disagree

It is pretty hard for a hostess to screw up from a diner’s perspective. Sure, from a management perspective it matters, but not from mine (as a diner). Having him/her chat me up as I walk to a table does nothing for my experience.

At many of the places we go, the servers have a second station for drinks. Those who get alcohol are perfectly capable of tipping the person who makes their drinks.

As with the hostess, the bussers have an impact on the functioning of the restaurant (and should have a set wage) and do not impact my dining experience. If the wait is going to be too long (due to poor bussing) we leave—again the management’s problem.

For the kitchen staff, I don’t know of any place that does tip them out. However, I have specifically tipped the kitchen staff before.

The waitstaff by far has the most impact on my meal—refilling drinks, replacing bread/rolls, ensuring the order is right. The kitchen is the second in impacting my meal. The rest have almost no impact.

Using your logic, your newspaper carrier should be tipping out to everyone who prints, writes or drives the truck to deliver the papers to central locations.
