If the plumber expects a tip, in light of the fact that it is NOT a traditionally tipping business, he’s SOL.
So, that’s a nice straw man.
Would you care to try again?
Oh so its tradition now? Tradition is your argument in support of this.
Get a clue captain strawman.
It isn’t a straw man, your plumber has a vastly greater range of service that he can deliver to you based on how he feels about you, or what mood he is in, or what type of man he is, yet you trust him to just do his job well, while you don’t trust us that have been in the food service business to do ours, unless we have the hopes of a bonus, of a tip.
Then why would the server even apply for this job at all?
They are being hired to do a job, if the service isnt good I am certain the management will let them know and will correct accordingly.
Everybody who is against this idea seemed to be under the assumption that servers will get hired and immediately let themselves go without repercussions. That’s a ridiculous assumption to make.
There are many trades that do this. Promise a base wage and bonus for performance.
For instance I used to be an appliance repairman. I had a base salary, and received commission for labor, parts and if needed replacement appliance sales.
My performance didnt suffer. If it did, my ass would have been out the door.
Why in your opinion would human nature be different because instead of fixing an A/C unit they are taking orders for drinks?
