Today, in the restaurant biz, sometimes the customer will stiff the server, and the server will become livid like, "That was $150 tab, and they left me with nothing! They don't know that I know where they sleep at night!" While the state of the server is understandable, it made me think about this idea of tipping.
Should we tip doctors?
Regardless of the huge margin of salary/hourly each makes a year between a restaurant worker and someone who is a doctor, if you think about the outcome, you should want to tip your doctor. Would it be asking too much if a doctor left a tip jar at his receptionist's desk?
"I just got shot twice by a gun, and was about to die, but now I can spend years and years with my loved ones, thanks so much! Here's an extra five dollars for saving my life, doc!"
Believe it or not, my perfect, straight white teeth was at one point, a horrendous site to look at. My front four teeth looked like it was a monster's claw trying to eat whoever's nose I was conversing with. I know, yum, yum. Then, through the magic powers of my orthodontist, this smile became a reality. It wouldn't have been such a bad idea to drop a few bucks of some honest appreciation.
I'm in the restaurant biz and valet biz, so of course, I'm not hating on the tips because I need them to live this luxurious life of mine, but tipping someone who saves your life and upkeeps your liveliness wouldn't be a such a bad idea, eh?
Flushing the toilet,
