Hey y'all, I made the mistake of eating out at an Earls chain in Canada, and I asked how the tip was distributed. Between kitchen staff, waitresses and front of house (the working class) a full NINE percent of the tip is split. The remaining NINTY-ONE percent goes to the capitalists. I have never felt so sick at a restaurant.
I provided a 0% tip and asked if she would accept an etransfer en lieu.
Guys and gals. We need to change how tips are distributed. Don't tip through the machine, and don't provide anything that can be reclaimed by management. I will be tipping exclusively via etransfer from now on.
