That's interesting, I'd love to hear more... especially before my trip!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12220918718505362942noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3383484186777473221.post-51755943763436340592014-04-11T11:18:54.462-05:002014-04-11T11:18:54.462-05:00Thanks Mrs G I really love hearing that coming fro...Thanks Mrs G I really love hearing that coming from you, still feels like a pat on the head or a gold star! :) <br />Yep, the restaurant I used to work at was one of the fanciest in Atlanta and the waiters there were on wages between 2.15 and 2.75/hr. Most of the time they made up for it in tips but when they didn't they actually owed money to the restaurant! This is because of how the system works - (it's assumed they earn more so they have to share percentages out of their cheques) - they sometimes owed money to the line cooks/ bar staff or food runners!

When we were in Charlotte last year we were talking with our delightful waitress (that's probably the politically incorrect term but I am anti PC anyway) and were horrified to learn that she was earning $2.15 per hour. We got used to tipping whilst in the US but, you are right, it is out of the Aussie comfort zone.Erica Gorehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15799638585443129598noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3383484186777473221.post-59492282600703085332014-04-10T17:50:24.406-05:002014-04-10T17:50:24.406-05:00Thanks for reading!
