It's actually the law that if tips do not cover minimum wage, your boss has to make up the difference. I learned that after one exceptionally slow night at my job... So the worst you could do is like $7.25 an hour, which isn't bad especially if you aren't doing anything...

there's more than just coffee at starbucks...

And if that happens too often the server will usually be fired.

Which makes sense a server would get let go if they're over staffed

ya but five bucks would hardly buy one srink

Maybe some people don't have any money to tip with..

coffee is nasty. i dont understand y ppl drink it.

oh no you di'int. I'm a coffaholic. 0.0 mmmmh coffee...

Eh, I wouldn't say you can't afford to eat out, I'd just say you can only afford to hit up the dollar menu.

they had A 50$ bill total. yeaaaaa not so tight on money dude.

seriously? she performed a service and didn't get paid! how would you like it if your boss came to you at the end of the week and gave you a couple olive garden cards instead of a check, do you think the electric company will take those as payment for your light bill. I really think gratuity should be included in all checks. OP fyl

They performed a service and they are getting paid. She didn't get a tip from one couple. Can you honestly say you give 15%-20% for every tip? Maybe they don't have enough money to tip and just were out on a date for an anniversary. I am a hairstylist, and a waitress I get it stinks but some people just don't tip since its part of their culture.
