    Not everywhere. A lot of places the waiting staff keep their own tips.

    So at the end of the year after you've worked hard, you shouldn't get a bonus? After all, you did the job you were paid for.

    A salaried job without over time is not worth it if there is no bonus!

    where I work is suffering at the moment/barely ticking over. So pay freeze... no rise in 2.5 years and 0 bonuses. Overtime is far and few between and I don't want to do it as it would be admin or customer support type stuff; which with foreign people over the phone is quite the ball ache.

    I probably need to get some tips myself. Need to leave really... too comfortable.

    I would definitely look at moving, there are many companies that are making a healthy profit and therefore are able to pass that on to the employees.

    Absolutely right. I like having the option to compliment partcularly good service by giving something extra, but it should be an option, and an exception, not the norm. This goes for charity more broadly too: I don't like how it's become assumed. If somebody has a collection box, it's so normalized to put something in it as you walk past that it's more of an individual and decisive act not to give something than it is to give something. Which undermines and cheapens the gesture of giving something.

    QFT. The 'charity' industry has exploded over the last 10 years it seems and you just can't escape it. Everywhere you look there's events in aid of charity, but the evidence for what that money is achieving seems conspicuous by its absence. And the money some of the Chief Execs for these charities are on...hmmm, trés charitable, je ne pense pas.

    When charity becomes obligatory, for which it almost is, in social terms, it's not charity.
