| Another TIP question
If you go to a restaurant and are served by a waitperson, but there is a trainee following your waitperson around like a lost puppy (obviously a new person trying to learn the ropes), how do you tip?
Do you just tip normal, or do you add extra for the second person? (obviously not the full 20% that you tip YOUR waitperson, but do you give SOMETHING extra?

| When I worked in the restaraunt, it was not expected to tip more because there was a trainee.
Depending on the restaraunt the trainee could be getting paid a "no tip" trainee wage or if they might be splitting tips with the server. If I were you I would not worry about it and just tip like you normally would.

Certainly no extra tip... and from what I understand the trainee gives the trainer most of their tips as well. So the trainee does most of the work and the trainer takes most of the tips. It's just how it works and the perks of being an experienced waitperson. I mention that to point out that tipping more will not insure that the trainee get's a vastly higher amount. |

It's one of those things that I'll try to give a little extra in hopes the trainee sees a bit of it.
I don't think it's a requirement based on etiquette though.

Normal tip, and ONLY if the waitperson earns it (that's a whole 'nother thread) |
