Lewd comments. Sexual overtures. Groping. Restaurant servers put up with a lot in pursuit of the tips they need to make a living, constantly deciding where to draw the line.http://nyti.ms/2tAd3A8

These casual environments where alcohol lightens the mood and erodes boundaries prompt restaurant workers to ask: How much money will I make, and how much will I tolerate to make it? http://nyti.ms/2tIoyWt pic.twitter.com/nUzS55jVUg

We also wanted to hear from you. Readers described the pressure to tolerate harassing behavior in order to earn tips. Especially telling? Many of you said the money made it worthwhile.http://nyti.ms/2u0vPRv

The tipping system is a huge excuse to pay servers below minimum wage, and should be something that should be done away with.

18-20% tip from us when we go out & eat. Servers work hard to make things just right when you want to spend a nice evening out. Thank you.

Look. Not to deflate the story of these beautiful women. But this is just what it's like to be a woman in general!! Not just servers.

I say we pay them enough and get rid of tipping all together.

A aquestes els falta complexitat, sentit de l'humor i ironia, oi
@enricvd i@BernatDedeu ? Els del@nytimes s'ho agafen molt a la valenta. Per un parell de mamelles no cal pas cardar tant de merder. Quatre brometes intrascendents, oi@emparmoliner ? Nosaltres sí que som guais!! -
Brometes intrascendents o no però privades. Les fan-ho he comprovat--tots els polítics que ara s'escandalitzen i que saben que el que diuen en privat mai sortirà a la tele.

Subscric al 99% "Si dimiteix, guanyen". Però cap dels casos s'assembla al d'en Salvadó que, premeditadament o no, preten escampar un estat d'opinió que és molt nociu per les opcions professionals de les dones. Ho fa, a més, en un context que pot tenir trascendència pública.

Waitress/Server is not a career. It’s a first time job, or part time job.
-
Soooo... what is your point/or input? ... if it’s a starter job, harassment is ok? Or if your serving, find another job? I waitress so I can afford to teach! Many a times have I had to keep my mouth shut when humiliated.
-
I guess my point is if you aren’t happy with the way your customers treat you quit. However most customers aren’t rapists like the thread is assuming. You shouldn’t be guilted into tipping someone because they brought your food from the kitchen, to your table.
-
OR people can just stop being jerks. I was a waitress for 7 years after college. Finally quit for that 9-5 job every one expects you to eventually do. Hated it. Too many believe if it's not a 9-5 cube job, it should only be temporary. Cube jobs are soul sucking to me.
-
People could stop being jerks but that’s not going to force people to tip enough for waitresses can pay their bills. 9-5 might be soul sucking but it’s stable. You can’t be a waitress or waiter and cry about instability.

Customers actually do that stuff? Really? How rude. How hard is to be nice to people bringing you food and drink?!? Jesus. Would they pull that crap if their mother was their server? Unreal.

When did the American public become such rude assholes? Just because you go to restaurant you feel the permission to denigrate employees ? They are just trying to do their jobs and make a living and should be treated with respect like we expect people to treat us.

The suggestion that sexual harassment is related to a person’s rate of pay is disgusting. The FULL responsibility of sexual harassment is on the individual perpetrator, period. Sexual harassment is about power and deviance, NOT about wages. Tipped wages are NOT to blame.
