I've rewritten this completely, because I think that this is because of some confusion, ie. waiters' mathematics, from linking from Infinite Improbability Drive. Dysprosia 09:05, 2 Sep 2003 (UTC)
I've rewritten the drivel to make it a little more palitable. Do we really want this here? SGBailey 16:08, 2003 Sep 3 (UTC)
From the article:
"[...] Depending on the type of restaurant, this may involve other uncommon duties, such as a Western-themed restaurant may require waiters and waitresses to line dance." Ah, and to yodel in an Alpine inn, to perform a belly dance in an Oriental café, and to move like a mermaid in a seafood restaurant?
In other words, isn't that statement a bit far-fetched? <KF> 01:57, 7 Feb 2004 (UTC)

"Many cultures in the region (East Asia) believe that leaving a tip implies that the waiter is not being paid enough by his or her employer."
Unless this occupation is one of the highest paid jobs in this region, I don't see why leaving a tip would be a problem. NorthernThunder 16:57, 24 May 2006 (UTC)
- For the same reason American's think the French are rude just because they don't SMILE NON-STOP FOR NO REAL REASON :-D. Different cultures have different viewpoints. Bihal 04:53, 21 August 2006 (UTC)
