      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

      Working for tips means that each shift comes with questions that don’t apply to millions of other workers around the country: How much money will I make and how much will I tolerate to make it? http://nyti.ms/2Ihy1qR pic.twitter.com/OZcNO2hRgS

      “Most of my day is geared towards how is a man going to feel about me. How can I maximize tips without feeling overly sexualized by my guests?” asks Ashley Lewis, who is grateful for the work but conflicted about what it entails. http://nyti.ms/2ImSsmg pic.twitter.com/xei2lgzYNK

      Managers can protect workers by switching a server’s table or asking an offending customer to leave. But even for bosses with good intentions, sexual harassment from customers is difficult to police.http://nyti.ms/2FB8UxI

      Servers ignore comments about their bodies, laugh off propositions and deflect behavior that makes them uncomfortable — all in pursuit of the tip that will help buy groceries or pay the rent. http://nyti.ms/2tSAcOL pic.twitter.com/SnxjlnPhV4

      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

          Brings back memories of my time working in food service. It wasn't only the customers but some of the employees too and especially managers.

          As a customer, I find it unfair to put me in a position that has to dictate the servers reward for service. This should be on the owners, not their customers. It's awkward and it's desperate.

          No job should require a woman have to give up her dignity. But, if you have kids to feed, you are forced into this awful position. Pay people a decent wage and get rid of tipping altogether. Show some respect for all professions.

          When I was nineteen I was a cocktail waitress in a bar near a university campus. I was young, cute, blonde and busty. The more harassing and "flirting" I had to endure, the less welcoming I was to it and the more businesslike I became. And my tips suffered.

          Worked in the service industry for 15 years. You deal with atleast one extremely entitled asshole every day, 9/10 they don’t tip well. They are the few who look at us service industry folk as peasants

          I make my money off of giving excellent service, if I don’t make good tips it’s not on me. Split between staff equally, then taxed 40% by employer. Bringing my A game every day is not a choice

          This is all very interesting. When I began teaching etiquette about 20 years ago I thought back then that gratuities would be a thing of the past. Now I'm sure it's coming soon due to these stories. Establishments will probably adopt a "service compris" system.

          Some of the higher end restaurants don't allow tipping. They higher and train quality servers and more than make up for the difference with the price of food.
