Some countries it's not customary to tip servers in bars and restaurants.
Hi, I wait tables at a family restaurant. Have you ever worked the bar, or catered in a private home? You mostly just attend to customers right? Yes, I focus on the customers, although I have filled in at the kitchen occasionally. I have not worked the bar. Right that makes sense, so you have to follow guidelines and rules that the manager developed ? Yes, I do. Sometimes it's hard being polite to rude customers! I can imagine, do you have a specific uniform that you and the rest of the wait staff has to weaR? We can wear our own jeans, but we have to wear a shirt that we get with our logo on it. Interesting. Waiters receive tips that may be a major or minor contribution of their total earnings. Do you receive that also? Yes, the tips are a major part of our earnings. That's why we really have to be friendly and polite even with some people make it hard.
Depending on the country or location, it may or may not be customary to tip servers in bars and restaurants, taxi drivers, hair stylists and so on.
