Hello Jim,

DD>> decent waitstaff is hard to find (at) U$4.35/hr

The federally mandated minimum wage in this country is $2.13/hr.
Some places, folks have to *pay* in order to work there.

JW>> Well of course it is!

JW>> Wait staff here make minimum wage: $14.59 per hour plus tips. Fast
JW>> food workers who generally don't earn tips are getting $17 at most
JW>> places and the local McDonald's is up to $18 plus a benefits
JW>> package. That extra dollar gets them the best, fastest, most
JW>> dependable, and pleasant workers in the city.

DD> I sometimes will send a tip into the kitchen if I have made a "special
DD> request" and it comes out right.  Bv)=

All tips are shared, and cannot be directed towards any specific
part or portion of waiters/staff at an establishment. That includes
dishwashers and other kitchen help.

DD> I think USA is the only country where tipped workers are paid as I
DD> outlined to Sean.

Dude, in many other countries tips are included as part of the bill.
Even in some restaurants in the USA. Do keep up.

JW>> Here's a current ad from our really popular, award winning brew pub.
JW>> The young, hip waiters can hit $300 in tips nightly while
JW>> socialising with their peer group and maybe $500 on Friday and Sat.
JW>> Dishwashing isn't fun or glamourous and doesn't earn tips so the pub
JW>> is offering: "NWT Brewing Company: Part-time/Full-time Dishwasher
JW>> needed! We currently pay $23/hour, a free shift meal, staff
JW>> discounts on food, beer and merchandise, company events, and health
JW>> benefits for full-time."  Every time the dishwasher quits they raise
JW>> the wage one more buck!

DD> But a dishwasher doesn't have to tolerate rowdy drunks, Just cleam away
DD> their detritus from the tableware.  Bv)=

What an idiotic thing to write. Amazing. Maybe you can invite those
millionaire dishwashers to a party and have a real blast. Of course,
finding a bartender at an affordable price might be kind of hard to
find given the outrageous wages dishwashers make.

Hence the need to provide plastic cups and plates, along with a trash
can for guests to toss them in. No dishwasher required.

For Life,
Lee
