Why Need Tips?
In the New York Times Newspaper, there is a debate about whether or not to tip waitresses and/or bartenders at restaurants. I have read several articles on this topic, but the one that astonished me the most was Tips Supplements Paltry Paychecks by Tye Batorbek-Wenzel. In the article, Batorbek-Wenzel elaborates on how tipping is helpful to her everyday life. Batorbek-Wenzel expounds on if waitresses was getting paid more and by the hour than yes it would be a good job to have but until then, the left over tips provided paying for doctor visits, paying rent and child care. On the other hand, Batorbek-Wenzel believes that people who works at McDonalds get paid more than she does on a day to day basis because Batorbek-Wenzel believes that being a waitress isn't an easy task. A weekly check is $30, no health insurance, and working long and hectic hours. At the end of the day, Batorbek-Wenzel believes its either help others by tipping and becoming successful in life or die.
As in the article above, I strongly agree with Batorbek-Wenzel's beliefs about tipping. I believe that waitressing or bartending isn't a good nor a fair job to do. Being a waitress and being a bartender is a lot of work for a person to do such as communicating, making and taking orders, and on your feet around the clock. Being a waitress isn't the best job a person can have but it does help people do the necessary things they need to do in life, such as pay bills and provide a roof over their heads. My aunt is a waitress and she doesn't make a lot of money, but I know from being around her that she chooses wisely on what to buy and not to buy. As a result of the struggle you see the two of them go through, I believe that tipping at a restaurant is very important because if you put your feet in their shoes, you wouldn't like the working life style they have on a day to day basis. From hear on out, before you leave the table of a restaurant, live a tip and remember every penny counts.
