you can't seriously be asking that of anyone who isn't working at McDonald's. that is part of every job out there.

I've never seen anyone kicked out of a strip joint for not tipping. The two situations are totally different. Watching the women on stage is totally free, aside from teh cost of your drinks.

You want a private show? You pay for that service.

If hot servers want to take me in back and strip for me, i'd be more than happy to pay for that service if I chose to use it.

Watching the women is free because the club isn't paying them a fair wage.

Most clubs here, the strippers pay to work there.

They work for tips.

How is that totally different?

?

Well, down there, and up here are different stories. Strippers are paid nightly. The bar I worked at kept 16 working per night. Paid them 125$/night, to work from 6pm, to 2am.

You cant throw money on stage at strip joints anymore up here. Not in this province anyway. (But I think thats because strippers were sick of guys trowing loonies heated with lighters at them)

Every job? How about working at a bookstore? Every time I go into one of those, the employees are sitting on their ass, reading or gossiping.

Oh ya? I suppose you shop for books at chapters?

\Because when I go to the bookstore I usually frequent, which is small and independantly owned, its 'Hey, how areyou today? Looking for anything specific today, or just browsing? Would you like a coffee (its not starbucks, but its FREE)? Oh look, this is your tenth book, you get 10$ off today! Have a good day sir!'

That one struck me as funny, because I get better service at the bookstore than I do with any restaurant.

Edit: If I want a book thats not in stock, I just call and have them order it, no money down, and pick it up the following tuesday, after 11am.

Yeah, how often is a bookstore customer angry? What is there to be mad about, the store didn't carry their book??

Whatever. To all the naysayers here, if waiting tables isn't hard, and waiters make too much money for what they do, then tell me this.......Why aren't all of your friends looking for those jobs? Easy money is good, right?
