Comments on: Tips on Coffee Shop Tipping http://www.ronmartin.net/blog/archives/1317 Thu, 17 May 2012 17:14:28 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.3.3 By: Arla http://www.ronmartin.net/blog/archives/1317#comment-10901 Arla Fri, 26 Sep 2008 18:52:39 +0000 http://www.ronmartin.net/blog/archives/1317#comment-10901 Does anyone else remember when TIP meant, "To Insure Promptness?" Ron's small coffee blog entry speaks volumes about business, service, how to give change, promote morale, provide leadership and build a satisfied customer base. I doubt that surly supervisor will miss you when you choose a different coffee shop to frequent. Keep up the good work Ron. Does anyone else remember when TIP meant, “To Insure Promptness?”

All tips do is give the company the freedom to pay people less than their work is worth, and expect the customers to pay the difference. There should be NO TIP JARS out there. If I feel that I am getting more service than being paid for, let me slip a bill or two to the employee under the table. It would be much more appreciated, and customers that do not feel like tipping would not feel like cheapskates when they choose not to. If you feel I should be paying 15% more, add it to your price and give your employees a 15% raise. My company doesn’t expect our customers to pay my salary by “tipping” me for the work I do.

When the server looks puzzles, I say, "Don't you want to make it easy for me to tip you properly?" Dozens of times, I’ve had to ask for a $5 or $10 bill to be broken.
