Tell me, is it compulsory to tip in the states? I've heard it is? 20% is the going norm right now. Its not really compulsory to leave a tip as in you will be persecuted the same as if you leave without paying your check but it is severely frowned upon and will be remembered when you visit again. As far as I know (I may be wrong), food service workers are not applicable to minimum wage laws (this may have changed?). On the W2 form it lists your reported income which includes wages, salaries and TIPS. So tips are reportable income. As a mechanic for a fleet service, I never got tips but when I first started out I worked in the public sector and every once in awhile someone gave me a tip for a job well done. I never tracked them as reportable income, it was a winfall. It was the same as lottery winnings, never more than $50. At a restaurant, part of the waitress/waiter's income is based on the tips they get. If you don't tip, you are cheating those people out of their income. The tipped wage is base wage paid to an employee that receives a substantial portion of their compensation from tips. According to a common labor law provision referred to as a “tip credit”, the employee must earn at least the state’s minimum wage when tips and wages are combined or the employer is required to increase the wage to fulfill that threshold. ~ Wiki
The Trump administration proposes allowing tip-pooling in restaurants. Critics call it stealing workers’ wages. Souce: http://www.washingtonpost.com/news/food/wp/2017/12/07/the-trump-administration-proposes-allow-tip-pooling-in-restaurants-critics-call-it-stealing-workers-wages/ Similar to other forms of financial pools, tip pooling involves the collection of all (or a portion of all) the tips collected from directly tipped staff to be put into one large "pool." From here, tips are redistributed among a larger group of employees. Tip pooling ensures that all staff members are fairly compensated for their work, especially when there are multiple services being rendered and single points of payment.
United States: Tipping and Etiquette http://www.tripadvisor.com/Travel-g191-s606/United-States:Tipping.And.Etiquette.html Tipping practices can vary depending upon the location in the U.S., and even published guidance can vary greatly depending upon the source.

As for dating and eating...
I personally eat at both types of establishments, its usually not the money that dictates where I will eat, its the time I have to dedicate to the activity. I date for a different reason than "Going on a Date". I date to find someone special, to me. Someone that I can share my life experiences with. I don't follow ramped up dating rules. For me, a date is a way to get to know that woman as she actually is. Its also a way for her to get to know me as I actually am. If we're out swimming or trailblazing and are on our way home and we get hungry we might stop in for a drive-thru meal or we might stop in a diner. If we just went to a movie and want to sit down and have a meal together and talk, we might stop in at a steakhouse. If we have a strong relationship and decide to get all fancied up and have a night on the town we might opt for a pub restaurant or a live band lounge. It just depends on what we're doing and what we like. I never go to tie and tails restaurants si I would never take anyone there. I do eat fast food, buffets and steakhouse meals. I've been to formal dinners. I've been to charity events. I don't frequent those places. Too stuffy and fake. |

Tell me, is it compulsory to tip in the states? I've heard it is? It is not mandatory to tip.. Wait staff only gets paid like $2.15 a hour they depend on their tips... So it is expected for those that eat out to tip in a full service restaurant... But not in fast food places.... |

I do believe most serious men date to get to know the woman for a potential Relationship. |

When women are used to nice dates it's hard to accept a fast foods man!

current nh labor poster says minimum wage is 7.25 per hour and tipped rate is 40% so 3.27 per hour which happens to be the federal rate as well

Regardless if it is right or not that is how it has been in the States as long as I can remember.. My first waitress job I was getting $1.71 a hour plus tips that was back in 1975.. I worked my *** off for my tips and will admit I did make pretty good.. I waited tables and was a bartender for over 20 years... What we had to report as far as tips, was enough to bring us up to minimum wage regardless if we made that or not... The pay for Wait Staff is still only $2.15 at the restaurants at this time around my area.. |

I always tip well. I have been a waitress too. If someone doesn't care about their job, I don't need to tip. If someone does their job (evenbif they are slammed) I appreciate it and will tip above (unusally)

Most get paid only in tips or a very minimal amount in hourly plus tips. |

I have never been a waitress/server but I do not envy them at all. I find that a hard job dealing with all kinds of attitudes.
Restaurants where I eat have many customers on regular basis and servers deserve tiip. Many men, are good waiters. |

You probably like the pubs!

Pubs are a dying breed over here now. In the original sense that is, the final nail in the coffin was the smoking ban.
Most have been turned into food places. Pubs were a great way of socialising, but that also is a dying art. |
