Ärende: Re: PAGKAIN  80204
==========================
-=> Quoting Glen Jamieson to Jim Weller <=-

 GJ> You could have commented, or just pointed to the prices and smiled
 GJ> knowingly so the waiter knew that you were a wake-up to their pricing
 GJ> policy.

 JW> Oh, I did!

 GJ> Good lad!  They will remember you, and (hopefully) give you the
 GJ> service reserved for regulars.

They already knew me well and treated me as a regular; I'm the crazy
white guy that wants chile sauce with everything I order, even onion
rings or bacon and eggs. They put a little cup of it in every to go
order I place without asking.  

 GJ> The culture of tipping [..] Do waiters get paid less than
 GJ> take-away packers and servers

Yes, they do. They are exempt from the minimum wage laws and
generally get paid less than minimum wage.

 GJ> What about a the McD and similar places - is it
 GJ> expected to tip table staff if dining in

No. Because there are no table staff. You carry your own tray from
the counter.

 GJ> Does McD have different base pay
 GJ> scales for staff with different duties?

I can speak to Subway, locally, because my step granddaughter worked
there for a while. The minimum wage in the NWT is $8.25. Because the
local economy is so strong the store paid the part time high school
kids $9.00 and the full time adults $11 to start, with $1 raises for
every 600 hours worked, up to $14. He now pays the kids $11 too when
they got organized. My S-GD Chloe was instrumental in that (with
some assistance from me in the background). The sandwich makers and
cashiers all make the same amount. The shift managers make $14.
 
 GJ> Are there differences in
 GJ> tipping customs between the American countries

The US seems to think 20% is normal and fair. Canadians think 15% is
about right. (I only tip 10% at buffets because all the waitstaff do
is provide water and coffee and occasionally clear away plates.)
                                             
 GJ> Do any restaurants in Canadia or USA follow the practice often
 GJ> used in Europe, Mexico and Asia of including a "10% Service Charge" at
 GJ> the bottom of the bill? 

It is uncommon but not unheard of. When I come across it I add an
extra 5% for good service.

 GJ> So if you are a friend of the owner you don't give him as much money.
 GJ> Good idea.  Get to be a friend of the owner.  :)

The original idea was that one tipped servants but not the
proprietor who was presumably a person of means. Roslind says that
is horribly old fashioned: when she owned a beauty salon with
several employees she was tipped regularly and accepted all tips
happily. And in fact her friends were the most generous tippers: 15%
most days, 25% when a colour turned out just right plus bottles of
wine and birthday and Christmas presents.
 
 GJ> I have seen mention of "baguettes"...

 GJ> a short French stick.

 Exactly.
 
 GJ> Are these available in different
 GJ> kinds of bread, such as wholemeal, rye, or just plain white?

99% are white. The French speak disparaging of the first as "health
bread" and ignore rye completely as too Germanic to be considered
food.




Cheers

YK Jim
