Glancing into the Tip Box

Tips are considered "extras" in an earnings of a person employed. It is usually a yearning to augment an income that can afford some more amenities in life. Tips can come by easily depending on your work of place. It also depends on the persons ability to render service that could demand a sizable consideration.

It has become a habit that whenever we go to a public restaurant or hotel we keep in mind the extra expense of handing out service charge. Direct contact with a particular staff member or employee like a concierge means a personal tip. However, tips should not be limited to employees who are in direct contact with clients. There are the employees who render quality service but do not get to deal with clients per se.

There is a way to make tips available for all. The TIP BOX is the solution. All tips are dropped in this box and at the end of the day all tips are divided equally by sections. For example, a dining area could have twenty employees ranging from the cashier to the waiters.

Tips gathered are apportioned to this department. Everyone has got to render good service so that clients may be encouraged to be a rich tipster. Frugal tipsters are welcome. Whatever can be pooled together means extra money to be taken home.

Honesty plays an important part. Tips left on a dining table receipt booklet should be for the Tip Box and not associated as a personal tip even if a waiter served a particular table. The overall picture shows that a client could comeback for a service well rendered and bring in regular money for the tip box. Even in market places or supermarkets there are persons who can be entitled to tips. There may be tip box or not. It really depends on the management level.

Sometimes, tips are discouraged because there is no loyalty or quality service if not for the personal gain. This is sometimes considerate of the management to their clients who have already purchased their goods. Salary is provided for the employees and therefore should not require customers to augment employee's income.

Are casino houses exempted from a TIP BOX? Dealers do get a personal tip from gracious winning players. Food servers may keep personal tips or may drop their tips depending on the consensus of the dining area. Even the versatile pianist upon rendering soothing and special musical arrangements do not escape attention and appreciative tips.

Valets are a group of persons who park clients car at designated areas and bring them back to the clients for quick mobility. They too get sometimes a standard tip which is pooled together to be divided equally. Such is the world of service plus tips in the business enterprise. It is away of saying "Thank you" on both sides, the client and the service giver.
