I have bartended at several upscale catering and banquet facilities for years. Why is it that at a Irish or Italian wedding people tip generously but at ANY Jewish event the guests do not tip nearly at all?
At a typical non-Jewish wedding I can make on average of $150 in tips but at a Jewish wedding or 'Mitzvah I will get less than $10. No lie...$10 for a full shift.
Like most in the food service industry bartenders work for tips.
They (Jews) will come up to the bar and pull out a fold of money until their drink is poured ("we call this threatening to tip") and then put it away when we hand them the drinks without even peeling off a single dollar for the bartender!!! They do this so the bartender will make a stronger drink for them thinking that they are going to get a tip out of it.
So tell me...Why won't the Jews tip?
This is not an anti-semetic post. It's a real question for a real and ongoing situation.
