Right, but you worked at a place where tips were expected and largely given. His daughter is working at a fast food joint. Probably lots of people paging through various screens looking for the zero.

Yeah I know, I'm just saying that FOH positions typically pay well beneath minimum wage, and this kind of flimsy bullshit is nothing new. Before Square paystations, the tip jar was used to get away with it.

I will say, though, that tablet paystation ≠ shitty tips all the time. At my local coffee shop, they have that setup but tipping is the norm. But I think it has to do with how they run their business:

There are 2-3 people behind the counter. When someone takes your order, that's your person. They make your order, talk to you while doing so, ring you up at the end once you're done. So it's not exactly McDonald's.

My first job was at the now-defunct Kinney Shoes. I made $3.15 and hour when the minimum wage was $3.35, since I got a 1% commission on sales.

I’d stick my tongue out at you, but you’re too straight-laced to appreciate it.

I was going to comment, but thought it would be better if eyelet it go.

Do you want to boot me off the forum?

There might be many reasons to do that, but your habit, in which you mock a sin, is not one of them.

I worked at Fenway Park as a vendor for 8 years - 1969-1976.

I received one tip for the entire time, one.
A guy gave me a dollar. He must have been a Rockefeller, maybe he was drunk.

The pay was all commission - 10%.
If you were selling ice cream in April you might run up and down stairs for 3-4 hours and make $3.00 for the game.
If you were selling beer in August you might make $20 or $25 for 3 or 4 hours.

I think these vendors make very good money in tips now. Times change.
