I ' m sorry . Can you just say you have a really bad flu and skip out of everything ? Or plan a getaway vacation ? We plan on skipping the holidays too as this year has been nothing but heartbreak and we ' re not interested in faking being happy for the sake of other people . <| sep |> I ' m sure one of these nazis could bomb a public space and you ' d still have more people saying mentally ill and not terrorist <| sep |> Okay I read the conclusion , good thing I ' m not a restaurant manager ! That ' s what all the conclusions were for . Again look through this posts , you will see several ex servers talking about how getting better tips WAS a driving factor in their performance . And my roommates and friends who dohave worked in the restaurant industry all seem to say the same thing tips drive them to serve better . What that paper didn ' t address is the idea that Washington State does not exempt servers from minimum wage , so tipping is an added bonus not a gap cover to their wages . Some research paper from 13 years ago isn ' t all that relevant to me .
