And here this whole time I thought people in the service industry in Portland got paid an hourly wage. I had no idea that they relied on customer charity to make ends meet.

This shit is getting so old.

People who don't tip are sad misanthropes, and probably hate themselves as well. You should really feel sorry for them instead of slime-tomatoing them.

Portland! Passive aggresive service industry types....oh wait, its been done before:(

Portland service industry people can STFU as far as I'm concerned. Try making server wage instead of that cush hourly rate + tips. Then complain. Or get a better job, retard.

Slime tomatoes were a delicious fruit back in the day. And they still are.

^^are you referring to slime green tomatoes? They are GREAT

I was so excited to read this after reading "just the tip"
I was for sure someone was up late last night watching the hedge hog in HD.

Get a fucking new job, if you dont like it when people dont tip you. And stop making a "pun" out of your subject line, its confusing! You tricked me into reading this bullshit.

I too was expecting something about a penis head probing a vagina and /or butthole.

I thought maybe it would be about a mohel who didn't get paid an hourly wage for doing a bris...he only took tips!
10
That convinces me to eat only what I grow, raise and kill myself.

I'm pretty sure it's the Merc staffers who write the subject lines, Munch. They deserve the praise or, more often, the blame.

I've worked in the beverage (bar) industry for most of my adult life. I do bitch when I don't get a tip or a shitty tip when I did something awesome or poured a bzillion drinks but there are PLENTY of times I don't tip. Specifically, if whatever I order is "to go." There's no service!! What am I fucking tipping for? You ringing me up? The cook to just fucking cook? You're not serving me, cleaning up after me, wowing me with a fucking magic trick - shove off. I don't get tipped at my non-food/beverage-industry job for being kick-ass.

i'm almost convinced that commentators here are assholes that went from high school to college to profession without ever having to make ends meet at shitty, minimum-wage jobs, or are just shitty people that hang out at coffee shops on their macs and get upset over i, anonymous.
14
Look, I took this gig waiting tables so that I could have real-life experiences to write about in my book / blog / zine.

Of course I'm above it, so pay up! I'm an intelligent, beautiful soul with unlimited potential and yet you successful people keep trying to keep me down. Booooo.
15
Ugh you are no better than a McDonald's worker. Shut the fuck up.

@Bort, can't speak for anyone else, but I worked in the service industry (I am sure others have) along with a few other minimum tip based jobs. The difference is I don't fucking cry and bitch and I did not feel entitled to anything. People who don't tip suck, but on the other hand this city has perfected the disinterested pseudo lofty shit head hipster service worker who would rather to anything than service but yet expects lavish rewards, because you know it takes time away from the shitty band, or assignments for WW. Allegedly

^ hey you kook, stfu & start your own column....
18
Customers go to fast food joints because they can't always afford expensive restaurants, or have the time to sit and wait for a waiter, because they have to get back to their sweat shop, too. You're lucky just to be making wages.
19
Kook? what are you, 60?
20
^you are a loser. Your voting me down agenda bit you in the ass with all the new submissions. Haw haW!Get a life schmuck
21
I don't "vote" either way. Please at least use comprehensible grammar or at least make some sense. btw, it would be" you're". Are you upset or something? Does your (note application here) ass hurt?
22
So "browner" am I to assume you are a hipster d bag working in the service industry or a WW staffer? I am confused
23
Grammar aside. A few thing I don't do, that you do.(that you prob shouldn't).....

Change up my picture on a regular basis

Multiple non interesting nor funny posts on one article.(Let. It. Go.)

Telling us people all about your former "fighting career".

And your name. The only "show" you are stopping is the belief that you are anything other than a total douche....

Please wait...
