Natalia Moreno is a Mexican who resides in Miami and works as a waitress, although before moving to South Florida she worked in the same occupation in New York, so she already had all the necessary experience in the customer service sector. In the last information he gave about his life in the United States, he revealed How much do you earn in tips at a Miami Beach restaurant? and many users found it amazing.
First, Natalia put the virtual community in context by clarifying that all customer bills have 20% gratuity added automatically, but that figure is divided among all the members of the staff: the cooks, the maintenance people and the waiters. So at the end of the day, of that 20% she only gets a fraction.
Additionally, diners have the opportunity to leave an extra tip amount and that one is specifically addressed to the waiter who attended the table, in this case, her. So, in a video from his account @nataliamoreno512 decided to show how much of that add-on did your customers leave you and surprised many, since on a Monday of service he received 200 dollars. Although some did not leave him an extra penny, others allowed him to raise that amount.
to users What he said did not seem so fair to them and they began to criticize her for not letting customers know that the tip was integrated into the ticket: “All those who left you extra is because they did not realize that the tip was already included”; “But you already have the 20% tip included in the receipt. What you want is double tip?”, Some said with some anger.
But she defended herself: “Because people don’t read, but how is that my fault?”, he stressed to emphasize that this information was written on their invoices, but that some left extra because they did not read or simply wanted to do it despite knowing the data.
After being attacked by dozens of people about wanting to get paid more, The Mexican made another video to tell how much she earned on a Wednesday already with the 20% integrated tip. That is, he made the sum with the extras that he received and after dividing the amount with his companions.
Finally, Natalie got 302 dollars for a day of between six and eight hours, which is the time he usually does every day, according to what he said. Given this, some users were in favor of him: “I always say it, look for jobs for tips, I’m a poker dealer and believe me it’s worth working as a waiter or poker dealer. They are good jobs”, “I don’t upload what you earn… Many later don’t want to leave a tip because they say they make too much money”.
While others concluded that tips are fine, as long as the employer does not rely on them to support the salary of the waiters, a very common practice in the United States. Some owners pay customer service workers less to top up the total amount with tips.
