Customers who tip feel good about doing so, and their actions put the worker in good spirits, too. However, a stiffer is like the guy who engages in sex with the sole intent of climaxing in a minute flat, partner be damned. Both the stiffer and the frenzied fornicator fail to achieve a potentially higher level of satisfaction. It's true that tipping is a way for employers to pass some of their wage responsibilities onto customers. Be that as it may, likely alternative courses are even less appealing.
Good tips ensure good people working behind a tip jar.
As someone employed in the service industry, I must confess to having a financial interest in softening up as many stiffers as possible. Only then will former stiffers realize the joy that comes from releasing some of their liquidity. Gordon Burke is a writer and coffee slave in Atlanta. Jobs Copyright 1996-2000 Eason Publications.
