HarryBosch Posted September 4, 2015 Share Posted September 4, 2015 Some of them take 100% of the tips, meaning roughly 10% of the price of the meal. As for an admin fee - they'd be spending that money anyway. Like Leeslover says, they like money so much they're prepared to risk the contract with the customer for a very short term and relatively paltry gain from the staff. Your continental and American capitalists laugh in the faces of our bastards because of their stupidity and kick-your-own-face-in meanness. The Tories have clearly been successful at putting it abroad that unemployed people and other benefit recipients such as the disabled are scum and that it's okay to be unkind to them. Now they're obviously enjoying some success at vilifying the working poor. I wonder what some people will become morally after five more years of this nonsense. Are you saying these restaurants only started this once the Tories got in? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HarryBosch Posted September 4, 2015 Share Posted September 4, 2015 Damned if they do and damned if they don't by people like you. I'm sure Len appreciates your concern.

24hoursfromtulsehill Posted September 5, 2015 Share Posted September 5, 2015 It's not that it started under the Tories or that the Tories started it. I simply observe that the Tories in some insidious political way legitimise and even popularise a generally mean and uncharitable approach to life. I don't think I'm the first or only person to make this observation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're trying to get involved using the Shopping Buddy scheme and the Manchester City of Sanctuary. Properly warms my cockles when people use football to show solidarity and fellow feeling. Shameful that politicians are unable to keep up with communities. A massive amount of stuff was collected at the match yesterday, including not one but two working guitars.

jimsleftfoot Posted September 7, 2015 Share Posted September 7, 2015 Fair point, but different in many different cases. Certainly in a proper restaurant I'd hope the chefs were on different contracts to the waiting staff and pursuing a profession, in the UK at least the latter tend to be shorter term jobs. Lower end cooking staff are often minimum wage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimsleftfoot Posted September 7, 2015 Share Posted September 7, 2015 I'm just wondering what factors influence corporations such as Tesco or CBPE Capital to operate a system whereby they keep the money people give to the waiting staff. Genuinely curious as to why they reckon they're entitled to - roughly - 10% on top of what they charge for the meal. It seems that Tesco agree with you and have started giving 100% of their tips to staff. I often think that Union's have the wrong priorities but they are simply helping a work force sector which isn't particularly well represented by Unions traditionally and so I have to applaud them ultimately.
