My husband works nights as a server in a local fine dining restaurant. He works for minimum wage plus tips. It's the tips though, that pay for our bills, the 4 to 5 hour shift at minimum wage is hardly a paycheck.
Anyway
We are friends with this couple. They are both in higher paying jobs than we are. She's an RN and he's a Physical Therapist. They know that my husband works for tips.
When we go out to restaurants together, they are sooo critical of the servers. They are bossy, demanding and rude the whole time. After all that, they refuse to tip well, even if the service was perfect. They say to us, "If they want better pay, they should get better paying jobs." The most I've seen them tip voluntarily is 10%, at a very high end restaurant. We usually split the bill in half when we go out, so they always make a big fuss when they see how much we tip.
Like I said before, they KNOW that's how our bills are paid.
Isn't that disrespectful to us?
Would you say something to them?
