I rarely see 15% option anymore when paying with a card

It usually starts with 20% and goes up to 30% minimum option
You are correct and that is some BS. I always click the "other" and enter a $ amount.
Seems like these places are trying to offset paying their servers a wage by driving it out of tips. Thats some BS.

I read Texas Roadhouse only pays $3/hr and the rest comes from tips. If a server doesn't make enough to get to minimum wage from the $3 + tips then the restaurant will pay the difference up to min wage amount.

That reminds me also that a lot of places are now charging you a 3% adder to use a credit OR debit card. Basically its a way they are raising prices without changing the menu price.... saying they are offsetting CC charges.

The problem with their argument is that debit card charges are only $0.50 a swipe so why charge 3% on a $40 tab??????

I don't go to these restaurants any more.

Wow only $3 per hour

Ate at one of the restaurants at Disney Springs this past weekend and got to talking to the waitress

Asked her if it was hard to get a job at the restaurants there and she said yes most ppl don't leave because they make so much

She said they make $10 per hour plus the tips (she got $70 from me)

They make hundreds in tips, even during the week. I know they have to split it with busboys, cooks, host, etc... but I've never seen that place when it wasn't full and a line waiting.

I think they make bank there as waitresses.
