Yes, but that is much closer to $50 per hour than $15 per hour

If someone is making 15 dollars per hour as a waiter do you still feel the need

The only reason I tip is the social norm.

It's stupid that it's a social norm. I wish we worked how the rest of the world

Yes. I usually don’t ask my waiters how much they make tho...

So why do you tip then? Isn’t it because they don’t make as much?

I tip in part because it is a widely accepted custom in the US.

Good response. Everything points to your belief they aren’t treated fairly.

Is $15 an hour good?

Fair enough- right now lots of places don’t pay close to that. At what point

Paying people what their work is worth would mean the single mom makes the same

Yeah - I'm saying I don't know what the right answer is.

Ya, I never understood why the back story should matter if the work itself or quality of work is the same.

Depends where this is. In Utah Waiters don't make $15 an hour.

I tip, don’t worry about what their hourly wage is. Maybe I should ask for a copy of their pay stub.

Just for clarity you feel a waiter, bus boy, etc needs to make 100,000 per year
SouthernBlueBlood

Yes, it is about the service. I don't pay the salary, I just pay for the meal

Thank you. Understanding is better than agreeing sometimes

In that hypothetical situation I'd probably still tip but maybe less generously

Increased pay of course

I find I'm a happier person when I look for reasons to be generous. Yes, I tip.

There would definitely be a point where tipping would have to stop.

Totally depends on restaurant. I would probably still tip. If it's a nicer place than Chili's,

Absolutely. It's $15 an hour and they are waiting on me like my mom. They deserve it

Do you tip other people who provide a service and are otherwise paid a reasonable amount to do so?

yes. but none of the ones you listed. We tip the guy that brings our groceries out to the car from an
