T.I.P.S.

Ok. So I'm having one of those "I don't get it" moments. Maybe you can help.

You go to a restaraunt, and at the END of the meal, you leave a TIP.

Now...from what I understand, TIP or TIPS (to be exact) stands for "To Insure Prompt Service"

If that's the case, shouldn't the TIP come at the BEGINNING of the meal???

I mean, yes...one should work hard and provide the best service with the HOPE that they will be tipped well at the end. But I gotta tell ya...as the mother of someone who works in a restaurant, I am HOT UNDER THE COLLAR over the amount of people who do NOT TIP after my daughter has provided EXCELLENT service.

Yeah...they fill out a "comment card" rating her service as Excellent, but how 'bout rewarding her MONETARILY for her excellent service!!! Those comment cards don't put gas in her car! Your TIPS do!!!

Let the DIALOGUE begin! Do you agree that TIP should come at the BEGINNING of the meal, or does it make sense to leave it at the end (and have people gyp my daughter out of the TIPS that she so greatly deserves?)

Talk to me!

Til next time...
