I don't actually work in the service in the industry. That's why I'm so annoyed about this. People posting in this thread are white-collar workers coming up with reasons to be cheap (but still enjoy the fruits of DC's restaurant scene). In my office job, my weekly pay isn't determined by the completely arbitrary whims of other people. My boss doesn't make up rules to avoid paying.

Change. The. System. Then.

Stop taking aim at customers. A lot of service industry staff make out like bandits, which is why the majority want to keep the status quo.

I don’t think the service industry is full of rich people, no. Get real.

Did I say that?

Did I attribute that sentiment to you?

No I did not.

You should take a moment and actually read responses to you rather than spouting off with your usual diatribe.

You said, "A lot of service industry staff make out like bandits" which is definitely not correct.

>My boss doesn't make up rules to avoid paying.

Are you okay with the fact that this is a reality in the service industry? If your boss was able to and did make up rules to avoid paying, do you think it's right for your business' clients to cough up your salary? What do you think will stop such bosses from abusing their workers?
