My Experience At The Campus Hotel

One day, during lunch I was running low on money and only had $20 to last me the entire week. My friends and I went through the drive- thru, so we all had to pay together. The total had come out to almost $20 which is what I had. I decided to pay for it to make my good deed of the day. Either way, it would make its way back to me somehow. I was back in school working as a student assistant, when I had to take a note to the academic building. I help in the main building, so I don’t usually have to step foot outside to deliver a note, but this time I did. As I was walking outside, I saw what appeared as a $1 bill on the floor. I felt as happy as a princess on the day of her coronation. It may not be even half of what I spent, but I took it as the world’s wonderful way of rewarding me.

Tipping your waiter almost feels like something that has just always been around in your dining experience inside America. You go with family and friends to your favorite restaurant, your waiter greets you, you order your meal, enjoy it, pay, and leave a tip. However, tipping is an Europe custom we borrowed. Weirdly enough, tipping use to be viewed as rude and disrespectful, much unlike today where it is viewed as disrespectful not to leave a tip. According to Michael Lynn, a professor at the Cornell University School of Hotel Administration, “tipping in the United States began just after the American Civil War in the late 1800’s.” Lynn suggests that wealthy Americans traveling abroad to Europe witnessed tipping and brought the aristocratic custom back with them to “show off,” or prove their elevated education and class. When you go dine in at your favorite restaurant and finish your delicious meal, how much do you tip? 10%? 20%? Nothing at all? Do you know how much to tip, or even why you should leave a tip? Tipping waiters is not a bonus; it is part of their salary. When you tip, you are helping waiters to achieve minimum wage. Consumers must pay for these costs one way or another. Tipping in America should be required.

I just wanna get off my table and go home, I don’t care about the change. But in America, it seems like tipping is pretty much mandatory, and not only is it mandatory, but you also get judged if you don’t leave a tip, like people will actually think you’re cheap, or a jerk

Many times my family has gone out to restaurants, having nice experiences. Other visits not so much. One outing in particular, my family and I ate out at an upscale French restaurant in Virginia. The food was good. However, my dad left a small tip for the level of service provided by our snobby waitress. Leaving the restaurant, we heard a “Sir! Excuse me, Sir.” Our waitress hurried across the parking lot in effort to catch up with us. She asked, “Did I do something wrong?” In which dad replied, “No, you didn’t do anything wrong, why?” She hastily replied, “The tip. The tip,” upset with the amount left.

I work at a buffet as a cashier. But, my job is much more involved than just taking people’s money. Within that sphere I have customers and coworkers. The influences I have in my sphere are mostly felt when I help restock the line or help the servers with clearing their tables. It is not a required part of my job, but if I ever decided not to help my assistance would definitely be missed. The food on the line bars would be scarce, people would start to complain and the servers would not get tipped as well. There would also be empty plates and garbage all over the tables. My influence in my sphere means that customers have a good experience and my coworkers get the help they

In the end, whether you tip or not, you should know that the waiters income should not solely rely on your tips. Paying for the food and being a customer to the business should be enough.It is the employers job to fix problems like these. Therefore, we need to get rid of this system for the well being of all. And, so you should not feel guilty for not tipping. In reality, most of us don't have bankrolls in our pockets. “The harder the job is the better the

I’ve always been a grateful person towards everyone and everything. Through my whole life I had everything given straight to me on a silver platter, and i've never done anything with the tools I have been given, and I never knew how I could repay everyone, until I found out how by talking to one of my recruiters at the marine corps office, the best way I could possibly repay everyone for

The federal wage for tipped workers is even lower at $2.13, and that has not been changed since 1901. Those working in the food industry should not have to depend solely on tips. Among near-minimum wage workers, 30 years and younger, about 2.5 million people work in the food industry. College students trying to pay off their student’s debt will have trouble because they depend on tips. Although, many customers may not realize that a tip is about 90% of their salary and don’t tip very much. However, there are big tippers, such as those who have worked in the industry and those who felt they had received incredible service. Keith Ellison, an United States Representative stated that he had worked at a McDonald’s once and it was one of the toughest jobs he’d ever had. He stated that those employees deserve to earn way more than what they

It is a privilege to be able to share with those who provided you with service. The mere are of tipping displays a level of appreciation for that which another has provided for you. Even if the service was not up to the standard, tipping the waitress/waiter operates as a form of forgiveness in that process. There must be some empathy extended to others when they have missed the mark, just the same as God has extended toward us when we miss the mark. Leaving a good tip speaks volumes for the tipper but also helps with recapturing relational capital that may have been lost by previous Christians.

Tipping is said to have originated in the taverns of eighteenth century England because drinkers would give money to their waiter so they would in turn provide them with good service. This then became a tradition in America, but it is not embraced by all. Many people find it unnecessary to tip if they receive poor service, but it is still a widely accepted social norm throughout the country.

I work at a liquor store called State Line Liquors in Elkton. I pack up customers’ liquor and then take it out to their car. I carefully carry their stuff out only for them to look at the ground mutter “thank you” and retreat to their cars. It can get really frustrating when this happens because people always seem to expect us to do it. They do not understand what a service is. People always say that waiters and waitresses have it rough because most of their wages come from tips, but Americans have ingrained into their mind that the waiter must always be tipped. This is only one of the many jobs inside of the service industry. I believe in always tipping the service guy.

My dad is a groomer and I am his grooming assistant. I get paid in tips. When we were working at Lobos Doggie Day Care. I had a tip jar that no one is supposed to touch unless they are putting a money in there.The tip jar is like my wallet. Even if you accidentally drop money in the tip jar it ways mine. If I was not up there to collect my tip and the client paid in cash that they I felt as though they pocketed my tip. There was this one time a lady was bragging about the way she tipped. I had to leave, and guess what I never received the tip. She paid cash.

You would be amazed at how poorly some people treat waiters and waitresses. They yell at them if they forget an order or spill a drink. They threaten to have them fired, or even demand to speak to a supervisor. Their actions speak volumes and reveal more about their character than anything they could say or do in the most impressive business meetings or boardrooms.

These days, there have been a number of hotels in various cities, towns and countries. From when I was young to now, I have visited many inns since I loved to travel to somewhere. I had any feeling and impression about hotels where I have been before I became eighteen years old. Hotels were just hotels that I needed to stay for the night. No more than that I thought. Before I went to Canada to study English in 2011, my family had a plan to travel somewhere and stay in a hotel for my farewell in Korea. After we visited many attractions, we were heading to the hotel that we made a reservation. When I saw the entrance of the hotel, I was surprised at first, and when we went inside of the hotel, I was surprised again. For two days, I was very impressed and I thought a lot in positive ways. I always had a desire to visit again and I wanted to get a hotel like that inn. It was the first time for me to know what I want to become. The trip to the hotel was totally changed my life and my dream.

The scent of fresh waffles, sound of radio pop music, light from the open sign. Just another long day at work. Everything is just like the usual. Restock utensils, greet customers, take orders, collect payments, and clean up. At seventeen, wanting to save up for my post-secondary tuition, I decided to work a part time job alongside school. I thought that not only does it give me money, it can also give me valuable work experience. Working at a part time job sounds like a perfect opportunity for me. However, after this experience, my perspective of working in the service industry completely changed.
