Surely the waiter or bar attendant are paid a wage right ! and don't tell me they all earn $2.80 an hour, no-way ! Other countries their paid a true wage, in hospitality usually $17.00 - $27.00 an hour depending upon the establishment and their experience. Sydney, Australia for example, also pay penalty rates (atleast used to!) and shift allowance on top to compensate the staff for their inconvienience at working peak times. The staff know what their earning, the Patrons know what they'll spend & no needless tipping! So is it 20% per beer at a bar say, or 20% of the final tab, than must you also tip the doorman, entertainment & the bloody "candlestick maker" I need help here, is it so wrong to budget for what your wanting or planning to spend?
