Is it not because the pizza delivery boy uses his car that you should tip him. Having a personal car was a requirement for the job he applied for. Would you tip the electricien who comes to add one more electric outlet at your house because the electricien had to use his own tools? If a waiter is making less than minimum wage it is not for the customer to pay his salary. Is it for the employee to pay him a proper wage. Waiters in states like California make minimum wage, unlike waiters in Texas where they are hardly paid $3/hour. I am againt the concept of tipping. Why would you tip the luggage boy who bings your suitcase to your hotel room if his job in the first place was to bring customers' luggages to their rooms. He is alreay paid by his employee for that. Why would you tip the hair dresser when you have already paid her for your hair cut? Is it that you tip the waiter beacause he did not spit on your food? Well, he is not supposed to spit on your food. Why would you pay someone extra money because he did what he was supposed to do and did not do what he was not supposed to do. Tipping system was created by emplyers so that they could underpay their employees and expect their customers to pay the rest of their salary.
