I own multiple daiquiri drive-thru stores. If you order a Strawberry Daq from my store a bartender (working solo often) grabs Rum, Strawberry puree, Sweet & Sour mix, and a blender. She then hand pours it to the ounce based off a recipe, ice, daq base, blend, cup, cap, out the window. That’s one drink. What if the order has 3 drinks, therefore tripling the work?

Do you tip $0 on a $34 tab?

My girls all average from a $10-12/hr wage as well.

Why do I need to directly pay your employees? Aren't you the one who hired them?

I’m an insurance agent. How pissed would you be if I ask you for a tip after you buy a policy from me?

I don’t give a shite that your poor employees have to work while on the clock. You pay them for that, not me. I understand that making each drink requires a lot of intricate skill, training, and knowledge but I just want my drink and I want to pay what it costs plus a bit of profit for you, since that’s business. Now if your girl is fit and showing 3/4 of her tits while making it and her arse jiggles with each step, then it’s my prerogative whether I want to tip her or not.

Hold on.. so you employ these girls knowing you don't pay them enough for the work you require them to do?

I am the customer paying the price established for what I am buying, my tip is my option based on being nice to someone helping me, it is not an entitlement to the business owner subsidize your business expense.

Why don't you pay them what you feel is proper for the work they are providing and then raise your price to compensate. You can then post a sign that's says you pay your employees a proper wage and tips not needed.

I worked seven years in a retail job where I had to ring up the items, go get the often heavy products, and load the products in the customer’s vehicle. Never got a penny tip, and never really thought about it. So I’m not going to cry for a gal who doesn’t get a generous tip for making drinks.
