Fuk you deserve a tip! Thats rough.How old are you?

My oldest daughter 18 is a waitress in a pub and started on 18 and now gets about 22 per hr and 33 on holidays more on the big ones! Not many tips though,maybe 1 a month is all.
It seems that a lot of service staff in the U.S. only earn $2.13 an hour as a basic hourly rate. No doubt that they deserve to be tipped working for that.

The U.S. system seems to be very different from that of the U.K. and I struggle to see the merit in it really. Though I'm sure it might work out well for those working in places doing good business.
I usually give a tip to my barber. I don't give tips in small restaurants and in restaurants where the price of the food is enormously high. MY wife doesn't give tips at all so I like dating with her.

Regarding the wages for service staff in the US, I thought working in the US is very compensating. Now that I know how people are being paid there, I'll be forced to take the CIA (Certified Internal Auditor) examination before going there so as to get a decent pay.
